Slightly better to give this person sudo access (man sudo) rather than
straight root access.
In theory you can use this to limit what commands they can run and it
will log everything they do. However, with a little work you can often
defeat these protections. Depends on how much you trust this person.
Also it means you don't have to give this person the root password,
you just grant sudo access to a regular account.
