If you have root-level access to a server, this means that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you can install any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software environment on your server, and you will be able to both access and update any kind of file, which includes system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and to generate other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make one more user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software that may be needed by a script-driven application that you'd like to run.
