Having full root-level access signifies that you will be able to access and change any file on a specific server, including all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline applications in order to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the abovementioned tasks. The root user may also generate various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have another account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a task on your server. The root-level access attribute gives you full control over your server from any kind of location, provided that you know the user credentials.
