If you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you can set up any server-side application whatever the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you will be able to both access and customize any file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, including users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you create a separate user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to modify the server or to install software which may be required by some script-driven application that you wish to run.
