We used this article (https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/ReferenceManual/Directory-Account-Permissions.htm) to give permission to write files to the Data file in resources, which was successful to write to that parent folder. We then created subfolders in the Data folder through the web interface for different processes we have. The subfolders say that the owner is 'root' and therefore the fmeserver service account does not have permissions to write to that folder. Is there a way to make it so any subfolder will get the same permissions as the parent folder?

This is more of a Linux/Unix question rather than an FME one.
You may want to look into setting default permissions for the data resource folder:

If that doesn't work, you should contact your sysadmin.

Oh, and another thing: I really hope you're not running any of the FME Server daemons as root!...
