mlflow: [BUG] Permissions issue when writing on /workspace

Willingness to contribute

No. I cannot contribute a bug fix at this time.

MLflow version

1.27.0

System information

• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
• Python version: 3.9 (Mambaforge)
• yarn version, if running the dev UI: n/a

Describe the problem

After terminating an unfinished run (while writing and debugging code), I see the following error in Python 3.9. Only solution I found so far is to remove the mlruns/ directory as there is some permission issue with unfinished runs, it appears. However I cannot always do it as, e.g., I have another training in progress while wanting to debug code that is not always running/completing successfully.

Is this a known issue with some known fix?

Other info / logs

I run MLflow locally on a Linux desktop machine for debugging experimental code in Tensorflow. The issue appears when terminating abruptly previous runs.
