Third-party access is an advanced setting. Some applications and many web apps have a way to interact with GitHub and gather information about repositories, teams, user data, and so on. This is accomplished by the feature rich API that GitHub provides.
By default, this is set to be restricted. This means that if as a user you authorize an application, for example, to read all your repositories, it will not have access to the organization ones.
For more information, you can read GitHub's documentation at https://help.github.com/articles/about-oauth-app-access-restrictions/.
