# Add Partner
Add a new partner to the Partner Directory.
When you create a partner, you must specify a partner ID \(PID\) first that identifies the partner in the Partner Directory. For each partner \(with a given PID\), you can then create multiple entries for different entities \(such like string parameter, binary parameter, alternative partner, and authorized user\).
1. Go to *Monitor* \> *Integrations and APIs*.
2. Choose *Partner Directory*.
3. Select *\+* \(*Add*\).
4. On the *Create Partner Entry* dialog, specify the *PID*.
This ID identifies the partner within the Partner Directory.
Make sure that the entered value is unique within the Partner Directory.
5. Specify the *Entity Type*.
6. Specify the remaining parameters. Which parameters are available, depends on the chosen entity type \(see also: [Partner Directory Entity Types](partner-directory-entity-types-950f4b2.md)\).
