There may be a better answer, but our solution to problems like this is to write a script (PowerShell for Windows) that iterates over all of the files called local.meta in all of the $Splunk_Home\etc\apps\[app]\metadata folders. You'll want to add power to the read and write attributes. E.g.
Change:
access = read : [ admin ], write : [ admin ]
to:
access = read : [ admin, power ], write : [ admin, power ]
You'll need to restart your instance after making these changes.
Cheers,
