# Primitive options

`qiskit_ibm_runtime.options`

Options that can be passed to the IBM Quantum Compute (formerly Qiskit Runtime) primitives.

## V2 Primitives

`SamplerV2` and `EstimatorV2` each have their own options. You can use the `options` attribute to set the options. For example:

```python
from qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService, EstimatorV2

service = QiskitRuntimeService()
backend = service.least_busy(operational=True, simulator=False)
estimator = EstimatorV2(mode=backend)
estimator.options.resilience_level = 1
```

You can also use the `update()` method to do bulk update. For example:

```python
from qiskit_ibm_runtime import QiskitRuntimeService, EstimatorV2

service = QiskitRuntimeService()
backend = service.least_busy(operational=True, simulator=False)
estimator = EstimatorV2(mode=backend)
estimator.options.update(resilience_level=1)
```

Refer to [`qiskit_ibm_runtime.options.SamplerOptions`](/docs/api/qiskit-ibm-runtime/options-sampler-options "qiskit_ibm_runtime.options.SamplerOptions") and [`EstimatorOptions`](/docs/api/qiskit-ibm-runtime/options-estimator-options "qiskit_ibm_runtime.options.EstimatorOptions") for V2 Sampler and V2 Estimator options, respectively.

> **Note**
>
> If an option is not specified, the server default value is used. The default values are subject to change. Refer to this current module’s documentation for the latest defaults.
