If you have root-level access to a server, this means that you will have full control over it. In other words, you can set up any server-side app regardless of the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you will be able to both access and update any file, including system files, and change various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do all these things and also to generate other users, including 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 create another user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to customize the server or to set up software which may be needed by a script-driven app that you would like to run.
