That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side app regardless of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you'll be able to both access and change any 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 perform all these things and also to generate other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make one more user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software which may be required by some script-driven app that you would like to run.
