Why is there no "File manager" option in ISPmanager as root ?
For security reasons, the file manager for the root user is disabled by default in the ISPmanager control panel. That is, each user himself manages the files of his domain. If you still need to use a file manager, you can use the following two options:
1. Create a new additional user to work with files. In the Users section, click Add and grant the new user the appropriate rights. After you enter the panel under this user, you can work with the file manager.

2. Enable root user access to the file manager. Attention! This option is recommended only for experienced administrators! As root, in the Module Access tab, select the File Manager module. Set the value to Allowed to all.
If you still have questions, please create a ticket to technical support.
