what role is necessary to upload files to auto index?

Path Finder

My users are able to upload files to the auto index folder by mapping there with the server name, but I'm not sure what capability is giving them that ability. Below are the capabilities for my basic user and I want to understand what capability is allowing them to do upload files using an auto index?

accelerate_search
change_own_password
get_metadata
geta_typeahead
input_file
list_inputs
output_file
pattern_detect
request_remote_tok
rest_apps_view
rest_properties_get
rest_properties_set
schedule_rtsearch
search
dbx_capable

Hey@katzr,

input_file is the capability that is allowing them to do so.

input_file - Lets the user add a file as an input through inputcsv (except for dispatch=t mode) and inputlookup.
Let me know if this helps!!
