If you select **Unrestricted admin,** the staff member will be able to access all areas of the dashboard, including all the global settings under the Settings tab and third-party integrations.

If you select **Choose access,** you can choose which areas of the dashboard the staff member can access, i.e. Content tab, Members tab, Revenue tab, and/or Website tab. **Keep in mind that only unrestricted admins can access third-party integrations, website name and account URL** regardless of assigned tab permissions.
