When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you will have full control of it. That is to say, you can set up any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and update any file, including system files, and change any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to create other users, including users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you create another user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to modify the server or to install software that may be required by a script-driven app that you'd like to run.
