# Approve/Deny/Delete an affiliate

By default, when an affiliate registers for your program, the request's status will be **pending** and needs to be reviewed manually (unless you enabled **Auto-approve affiliate**). Their affiliate accounts will be **inactive** so they can still log in, but all affiliate information will be hidden until you approve.

To approve/deny/delete an affiliate,  you must first navigate to the **Affiliates** tab.

## **1. Approve**

To approve an affiliate request, you must click this **Approve** button under the **Action** column.
