I don't know too much about the specific question that you posed, but if
you are interested in giving site affiliates a login to view their
respective order/traffic reports, you might want to take a look at the
affiliate directory in the pages folder if you have not already.

We have done some pretty cool things with affiliate tracking and
reporting functions allowing site affiliates to login to view their
stats. It might be better to let them access everything through the site
instead of allowing them to login to the admin.

Sorry I couldn't answer your specific question, but thought this
information might help.
