# Brokerages and Broker Management

You can manage your brokerages and brokers on the platform by doing the following

1. **Document**: Record details about Brokerages and Brokers, like their business information and commission rates.
2. **Track**: Record and report Brokerage and Broker commissions across individual policies and your entire business.

Click on your company's tab in the left sidebar, then select the **Brokerages** tab to open your **Brokerages** page. Here, you can start managing your brokerages and brokers. On this page, you'll see a list of all the brokerages you've created.

### How to create multiple users or brokers with the same email address

If you need to create multiple user or broker accounts using the same base email address, insert a "+" followed by a unique identifier before the "@" symbol. Most email providers, such as Gmail, will still deliver all emails to the original inbox.

For example, if your base email is:

`alex@example.com`

You can create variations like:

* `alex+broker1@example.com`
* `alex+user2@example.com`
* `alex+nyoffice@example.com`

This allows you to manage multiple accounts while receiving all emails in one central inbox.

## Attaching a Broker to a policy

During [policy creation](https://app.aiinsurance.io/docs/policy-management/creating), you can attach an existing Broker or create a new one. When a Broker is linked to a policy, the policy automatically gets the Broker's default commission. However, you can change this commission manually if there's a special agreement for that policy.
