Resolved Plesk Onyx creates website folders with wrong permissions on windows

MiTo

Basic Pleskian
If i create a new domain on a new Windows Server 2012R2 with Plesk Onyx all folders are completely write protected which makes it difficult, no impossible to install any app like forums or social communities or stores.
On Linux Plesk works fine and creates the webroot folder with correct permissions.
Is there a way to set this up or is it really an issue ?
I don't want to set all folders on "writeable" for everyone to fix that.
 
I must have done something wrong that nobody answers my questions anymore....

Anyway, i could solve tha alone and it was because i create my folders for the subdomains outside of the "httpdocs" folder of the main domain because this standard setting of plesk leads to a complete confusing "folder-mess" if you have several subdomains with apps that need some caching folders "outside", for example "eGroupware".
In fact, if you chose any other, upper level folder than "httpdocs" Plesk doesn't set the right folder permissions when a hosting is created.
Mabe this should be considered to change/fix.
 
Thx again @Javier P. I could fix that for me already.
In general it is correct to have strict permissions outside the public hostings i was jus wondering why plesk doesn't change the permissions for a folder if it is set as main html document folder for a website and not the standard "httpdocs"... On my Linux Server with Plesk 12.5.x this works perfectly and therefore i was wondering why it doesn't work with Plesk Onyx and Windows.

The easiest way is just to add the missing "I-user/groups" to the folder security as far i found out...
