I am at a loss trying to find the Rules UI in Drupal 7.x. I have already checked:
/admin/config
but I can't find anything having to do with rules.
I have checked the Actions and Triggers pages as well thinking maybe there was a link there I was not aware of.
Am I missing something?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

hi,

the rules ui resides at admin/config/workflow/rules
double check if you did enable the module "Rules UI" which is separate from "Rules" core

Rules UI was enabled in modules settings. For some reason after this past weekend the workflow settings and rules showed up in the config page. Not really sure why. But it is working now. Thanks!

Workflow doesn't even show up for me. Really need rules. Uninstalled and reinstalled all rules and workflow modules. Think I'm going crazy or something. Can't figure this out.

The workflow menu item is hidden until another module populates it. It's a very odd setup. You probably will only need to clear your cache if you have rules ui enabled.

I had the same problem. After clearing the cache. The workflow block and the rules showed up in the "admin/config/".

The documentation page, Introduction to Rules (http://drupal.org/node/298480), should say where to find the Rules UI. It's the first thing someone using the module who is new to it will need to know, so it should be documented.
(ideally it should also say that if it isn't under admin > config > workflow, clear caches)

@alanomaly: Would you kindly update the docs?

I've updated the documentation, since I just ran into this too. Maybe someone could take a look and see if anything needs to be added?

I also checked the module page for a "Configure" link from Rules UI's entry and didn't see one. I now see the "Configure" link appears on the Rules module itself (presumably only if Rules UI is enabled). Would it be worth adding a "Configure" link on the Rules UI entry as well?

you also need to make sure to set permissions so Administrator role users have permission to administer Rules.

Yeah that wasn't the issue for me, I was using it as uid1. I would argue it would be helpful to admins to add a "Configure" link to the Rules UI entry on the module page.

Patch attached adds admin/config/workflow/rules link to the Rules UI module in the module list.

Almost four years later and the patch still applies!

Adding a configure link to the Rules UI module doesn't harm anything, and if it helps even 1 person find the UI then it's an improvement. Let's get this committed!

This is already fixed in Rules 8.x-3.x, so it only has to be fixed in 7.x-2.x.
