Hope this helps someone else. I needed to add image upload to a custom role, so that an author role could add a profile picture. It needed:

 {
          filter: '_id in path("**")',
          permissions: ['read', 'create', 'update'],
 },

Thanks for sharing back Jesse! 🙌
Quick note: the above gives the permissions to any

_id

matching that path, so also non-image documents. This could be just fine depending on what you have in mind for the custom role. However, if you’d like to target images more specifically, you could also try a filter like this:

{
  filter: '_type == "sanity.imageAsset"',
  permissions: ['read', 'create', 'update'],
},
