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

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!
