I ran into the same problem and have gone through the functions’ roles to find an answer. Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution.

forum-attachments-for-buddypress-bp-functions.php
lines 46-51.
`global $bb_attachments, $bp;
$bb_attachments=”read”; // minimum role to see list of attachments = read/participate/moderate/administrate
$bb_attachments=”read”; // minimum role to view inline reduced images = read/participate/moderate/administrate
$bb_attachments=”read”; // minimum role to download original = read/participate/moderate/administrate
$bb_attachments=”participate”; // minimum role to upload = participate/moderate/administrate (times out with post edit time)
$bb_attachments=”moderate”; // minimum role to delete = read/participate/moderate/administrate`

Obviously do not want to give upload moderate or administrate to everyone …

Next, the plugin Members was installed, edited “Subscribers” to have upload_files capability and still no joy.
