Collaborator code allows partners (development agencies, individuals, and third-party app developers) to access your Shopify admin and back office with limited permission (such as Orders, Product, app settings etc). It also excludes them from Staff accounts, as each Shopify plan has limited Staff seats.

plansA 4-digit code is auto-generated and visible to the Shopify owner/administrator for Shopify Plus stores(as of Sept 2024) and staff/partners for other Shopify plan. They can also re-generate the code if necessary. Shopify has been revamping it from a security perspective so that things will change over time.
