Right now, for you, it looks like Dashboard's is the chosen one. You may still be able to try out some of Foreman's other features, but you cannot have the full functionality of both packages available at the same time for the same Puppetmaster. In any event, I suspect that the problem you encountered was not directly related to installing Foreman. Generally speaking, non-root processes should not be able to access anything under /root, and nothing about the Puppetmaster, Dashboard, or Foreman should run as root. If you do mistakenly run parts of the stack as root (e.g. by manually starting one or more of the daemons as root) then they have permissions they should not have, such as to access root's files.
