## pw context

Manage CLI contexts

### Synopsis

The **pw context** command group lets you manage multiple CLI identities and switch between them.

Contexts allow you to authenticate with multiple Parallel Works platforms or user accounts
and easily switch between them without re-authenticating.

Each context stores the authentication credentials (API key or token), the platform server,
and the associated organization.

### Options

```
  -h, --help   help for context
```

### Options inherited from parent commands

```
      --context string         The context to use. Overrides PW_CONTEXT environment variable and current context from config.
      --platform-host string   The Parallel Works ACTIVATE platform host to use. Will override any other platform host settings.
  -v, --verbose                Enable verbose logging
```
