Having full root-level access means that you can access and update every file on a selected server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be required by certain scripts and even offline apps to work properly. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to do all of the aforementioned tasks. Your root user may also make 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 do a particular task on the website hosting server. The root-level access attribute provides you with full control over your server from any kind of location, provided that you know the user credentials.
