 * Hello,
 * I’m thinking of buying Affiliate Pro or Enterprise, but before I test the free
   version.
    I have a question: I add manualy a new affiliate. How did he get the
   password to log in? I have not received any e-mail with a password.
 * Regards,
    Mav

 * See [Adding a new affiliate](http://www.itthinx.com/documentation/affiliates/affiliate-program-management/managing-affiliates/adding-a-new-affiliate/)
   in the documentation – affiliate accounts and user accounts are different entities
   that can be related but don’t have to be.

 * I read the documentation. And there is nothing about the affiliate password.
   
   I understand that if the affiliate account will not be related with user account,
   then he can not log in to the system. However, if he have affiliate account and
   user account, he has a password (from user account). I understand correctly? 
   If so, I do not understand the use of the first option – a partner without an
   account on the system.

 * There are several use cases where it makes sense to have an affiliate account
   that is not related to a user account, among them is using a pseudo-affiliate
   as a means of tracking the performance of an ad-campaign.

 * OK. I understand.
    Thx.
