They have limited access to some intelligence databases and information. That doesn't mean that they can just pop random selectors through PRISM for the lulz though - nor does it mean that the FBI and NSA share everything they have on everybody, or at least they don't for now.

I don't think it is in anyway limited:

As to the point about selectors, if a selector has an even remotely domestic terrorism related component, and is authorized by the FISA court, the FBI can and does see that information.

Edit: added qualifier about terrorism
