There is a VPS and there is a programmer who will fully deal with the site on this VPS. The site is complex and requires regular refinement and processing, it uses PHP and databases.
The question is what level of hosting access can be safely provided to a programmer, so that later he himself does not lose access to the site. The programmer requires root access.
How is this issue usually resolved?

it's a question of trust, usually root access is not needed for a programmer.

If you do not trust the programmer - make the site yourself.
If he has any smart-ass thoughts, he can do harm anyway.
You definitely need to give root access, or you yourself will install and configure all the software.
