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