If you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you can install any server-side application regardless of the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you are able to both access and update any kind of file, including system files, and change various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and also to generate other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you make another user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you need to modify the server or to set up software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you'd like to run.
