# Primitive options ([`qiskit_ibm_runtime.options`](#module-qiskit_ibm_runtime.options "qiskit_ibm_runtime.options"))[¶](#primitive-options-qiskit-ibm-runtime-options "Link to this heading")

Options that can be passed to the primitives.

The [`Options`](qiskit_ibm_runtime.options.Options "qiskit_ibm_runtime.options.Options") class encapsulates all the options you can specify when invoking a primitive. It includes frequently used options, such as `optimization_level` and `resilience_level` as well as sub-categories, such as `transpilation` and `execution`. You can use auto-complete to easily find the options inside each sub-category, for example:

```python
from qiskit_ibm_runtime.options import Options

options = Options()
options.transpilation.initial_layout = [0, 1, 2, 3]  # This an be done using auto-complete
```

You can also pass dictionaries to each sub-category, for example:

```python
from qiskit_ibm_runtime.options import Options

options = Options(transpilation={"initial_layout": [0, 1, 2, 3]})
```
