When you have root-level access to a server, it indicates that you will have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able set up any server-side application whatever the changes that it'll 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 various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to perform all these things and to make other users, including users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you make one more user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software which may be needed by some script-driven app that you want to run.
