Have you created WebEditors, WebAdmins in the CMS groups (If using ASP.NET Identity) and made sure your user is in it?

I can be wrong here, but I understand the mappedrole to be:

If an user is in WebEditors, then he/she is in CmsEditors
The vice versa is not true, if an user is in CmsEditors, it does not mean they belong to WebEditors.

I.e. the behavior you are seeing is correct.
