Creating a Manager account for the Back Office

by Ralitsa Petkova

Last updated: 29-May-2026

Main back-office Administrators have the necessary system permissions, which allow them to create access for other company employees.

Navigating to Admin> Configuration> Managers> Create Manager, extra access accounts can be created to access MyAffiliates Back Office.

Note: Passwords must contain at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, one number, and one special character. Passwords must also be longer than 8 characters.

While filling in the required fields, it is also highly recommended that the new manager account is subscribed to receive MyAffiliates News and, most importantly, MyAffiliates Maintenance notifications.

MyAffiliates does not use its communication channels to engage in sales pitches, but only to inform its esteemed users of important system or infrastructure upgrades. 

After the manager account is created, the next step is to grant it the necessary access and editing permissions throughout the BackOffice system.

The list of all Manager accounts can be viewed by navigating to Admin> Configuration> Managers> Managers.
Clicking on the manager’s Username or the ‘pencil’ icon (on the right) will open the manager’s Summary page. 

The necessary manager permissions need to be granted for these sub-sections: 

Affiliate Permissions: controls the pool of affiliates a manager has access to.

System Permissions: controls the sections of the Back Office on the main Menu ribbon. 

Channel Access: controls the brands which the manager has access to.

Once the manager account has been created, the system will NOT send any email notification to the manager.

The System Administrator needs to share the username and password with the Affiliate Manager personally in a secure way.
