# Switching between perimeters

Anaconda Platform lets you work across multiple [perimeters](https://anaconda.com/docs/platform/concepts/what-is-a-perimeter.md), each representing a distinct compute environment with its own security and access controls. This page shows how to list and switch between perimeters that have already been set up. If you need help setting up perimeters, [contact Anaconda support](https://support.anaconda.com/hc/en-us/requests/new).

> [!NOTE]
>
> You need `Execute` access to the target perimeter before you can switch to it. If you receive an error, check your permissions or contact your platform administrator.

To switch to a different perimeter:

```sh theme={null}
outerbounds perimeter switch --id <PERIMETER_ID>
```

Comments

Replace \<PERIMETER\_ID> with the ID of the perimeter you want to switch to.

> [!TIP]
>
> View available perimeter IDs with `outerbounds perimeter list`.
