What capabilities do I need to upload files with add data from custom role?

3DGjos — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 22:13:24 GMT

Hello, we have to create a role from the scratch. that role has to have the capabilities required to upload .csv files to the environment.

I tried with my admin user and it works just fine, but the custom role is not working. I added the following capabilities to it and still is not working:

edit_monitor
indexes_edit
edit_tcp
search

But still I can't upload files, I've got the error im attaching. if anyone knows what extra capabilities do i need please help me.

Thanks!

@3DGjos try assigning both edit_monitor and edit_tcp, it will work.
