Knime is unable to load and returning error messages regarding “unable to create temporary directory for the temp space”.

Knime is installed on a server.

It seems to be working properly previously, and then we started seeing this error. Any suggestion on a remedy would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It appears that the process owner of the KNIME application does not have write permissions on that directory; perhaps something has changed with who the process owner of the application is, or that directory listed in the screenshot?
