There was no such title as Emperor. He called himself Princeps or First Citizen, and governed indirectly by pulling strings to manipulate elections and decisions. The period of him and his successor Princeps is known as the Principate. In the 3rd Century CE when rule became openly autocratic we invented the word Emperor (the word is derived from the military honorific title Imperator and the magistrate's power of imperium) to describe a despot of an empire.

In 27 BCE he declared himself Princeps, took on the powers and immunity of a tribune of the plebs inside Rome, the authority of a pro-magistrate outside Rome, and contol of the provinces with legions to keep them out of the hands of potential rivals. Even with this camouflage, he was sufficiently mindful of what happened to his adoptive father Julius Ceasar and wore a cuirass under his toga when he announced all this in the Senate.
