The thing is, that I would like to allow registered users to be able 
upload files to the forums, but not to their blogs. So if I disable the 
upload right in the Upload modul for registered users, they won't be 
able to upload files to the forums. In the other way, if I enable it, 
then registered users would be able to upload files to the forums and 
to their blogs too. But I only want one particular role to be able to 
upload files to their blogs, and every registered users to upload to 
the forums.
Hope this makes it clear. Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks!
