How can I have access as the main login via Cpanel for mysql? When I connect tot the terminal and run any mysql commands I receive an access denied.

I need root access because logging in the assigned user is not allowing me to see the full features such as SHOW PROCESSLIST.

In order to have root access to MySQL you would also need root access to the server. This is not possible when hosting on a shared server. Your hosting provider would have root access to run this command.
