# Approving ShopPad Collaborator Request

Collaborator permissions provide our team access to approved sections of your store. Please note that these accounts **don't count towards your store's** [**staff limit**](https://https/help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/staff-accounts)**.** Only the store owner or staff with "manage collaborator" requests permission can view collaborator access requests or grant collaborator access to a store. The request can be found as an email or a notification on your Shopify Home. Here is how to approve a collaborator request from our team:

1\. Select **Settings** from your main Shopify home page.
