If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you will have full control of 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 will be able to both access and update any kind of file, which includes system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do the aforementioned things and to make other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you make one more 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 want to run.
