If you can log in to your Mac with an administrator account, you can enable the root user, then log in as the root user to complete your task.
The root user account is not intended for routine use. Its privileges allow changes to files that are required by your Mac. To undo such changes, you might need to reinstall your system software. You should disable the root user after completing your task.

If it goes into the main Applications folder, then yes, it's available to all users - though each user will have their own distinct prefs, saved under their account. If it's installed to /Users/your name/Applications, then it's only available to that user.
