You can also set up software which can modify particular settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation is possible only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine at any time and you will be able to perform anything you want. You can also generate other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.
