If you have root-level access to a server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. That is to say, you'll be able 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 kind of file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to make other users, which includes users who 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 a different user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you have to customize the server or to set up software that may be required by a script-driven application that you would like to run.
