# Approving ShopPad Collaborator Request?

See who can approve a ShopPad collaborator request in Shopify, where it appears, and why collaborator accounts do not count toward your staff limit.

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.
