Sadly, not allowing root access isn't always an option. If you don't
have serial access or physical access to the server, the additional
steps required to ssh in as a user and then switch to root is often
impossible (For example, there's a number of systems at work that tank.
When they tank, you can get in as root, but not as a user).

It's dangerous, but there's always rules you have to break.
