User Role Permissions

Hi senorwakko,

According to the Codex, Contributors do not have the capability to upload files:

I did notice that Authors have the capability to upload files. If you need to customize your roles and capabilities, you could look into using a plugin like one of these (just to name a few):

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-role-editor/

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/role-scoper/

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-access-manager/

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/

You can also customize the roles and capabilities in your theme’s functions.php file:

Hope this helps!
