What is the process to get SSH root access to Shared/VDS/Dedicated server?

SSH root access is provided only on dedicated servers. To allow SSH access to a regular account on the dedicated server, you will have to generate the SSH key pair for this account. Once you have generated it, you must open the WHM or web host manager on the dedicated server and go to "Account Functions". Under this option, you will find the "Modify an Account" option which you must click upon. You can then activate the SSH access vis-a-vis the "Shell Access" check box here.
