Hi everyone! I created a new empty starter project and have logged-in to the CMS as admin user created through code. I'm trying to create a new page under Root (Navigation pane area), but the "New Page" option in the context menu is disabled.

I also tried using the "+" icon -> New Page -> Select Page window -> selected "Root" node -> "Select" button is disabled. Couldn't proceed further.

Root node -> Tools (dropdown) -> All options are disabled (Language Settings, Manage Expiration etc..,)

I'm able to see the admin link menu on the top ribbon area, WebAdmins and WebEditors were the role with which I created the admin user through code.

I have created the page type in Visual Studio, but couldn't create a page. Please assist. Thanks !

I got the answer. There was another role Administrators that was required for doing these activities.

I modified the code to add the Administrators role. Now those options are enabled!

private static readonly string[] _roles = { "WebAdmins", "WebEditors", "Administrators" };

I thought that the WebAdmins role would be the master Admin role
