Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and change any kind of file on a selected server, which includes all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be required by specific scripts and even offline applications to work efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to do all of the abovementioned things. Your root user may also generate various other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have a different account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform some task on the server. The root-level access function will give you full control over your server from almost any location, provided that you have the user credentials.
