Hi guys, the following solution worked for me.

1. Log onto the portal as a Super User
2. Go to The "Admin" menu and select "File Management"
3. When file manager opens up, right click on the "Root" folder and the select "View Folder Properties"
4. On the new window that opens up select the "Permissions" tab.
5. Even though you can see that the Administrator role has all of the required permissions you should still perform the next step.
6. From the "Select Role" drop down list, select the "Administrators" role
7. Click on the "Add" button.
8. After the window reloads click on the "Copy Permissions" button at the bottom of the window.
9. After the window reloads click on "Save". From there your problems should be solved.

Please note that you will have to repeat the above mentioned steps for each and every portal that you have running under your specific install.

I hope that this helps.
