When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you will have full control of it. That is to say, you can set up any server-side app no matter what the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you will be able to both access and modify any file, including system files, and change any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to make other users, including users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you make another user for your daily work and employ 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 would like to run.
