On traditional UNIX-like systems the UNIX user root is able to do
"anything", that's why root is called the superuser.

When using some ACL system for example, like SELinux, the
administrator person can restrict the power of the user root.

But again: you cannot prevent the administrator *person*
(I'm not talking about the UNIX *user* here) of a machine from
accessing the data you store on that machine.
