When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you can set up any server-side app no matter what the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you're able to both access and customize any file, including system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and also to make other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you create another user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software which may be required by a script-driven app that you wish to run.
