You may also set up software that can change certain settings on your server throughout the, so that the installation can be done only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you'll be able to do anything you need. You may also generate other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you require them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etcetera.
