EventsManager CreateEvent method Authorization error

Hi, I am kind of new to Sitefinity and needed some help getting started. I am trying to import some Calendar Events programatically during application startup (and potentially also on a schedule). It works fine if I give permissions to to the "Everyone" role to create events. However, if this permission is not set, I get an authorization error:

The current Principal is showing as "Anonymous".

My code looks something similar to:

Is there a way to bypass permissions check for Application Startup, or Scheduled tasks?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ajit

Thank you. The CreateEvent method now works fine, however, when I try to publish, I encounter the same error.

This the code that i use to publish the new events:

eventsManager.SaveChanges();

                                        //Publish
                                        var bag = new Dictionary<string, string>();
                                        bag.Add("ContentType", typeof(Event).FullName);
                                      
                                        WorkflowManager.MessageWorkflow(eventId, typeof(Event), null, "Publish", false, bag);

The following code solved the issue. 

SystemManager.RunWithElevatedPrivilege(d => WorkflowManager.MessageWorkflow(eventId, typeof(Event), null, "Publish", false, bag); );

Looks good. You should be able to run all the code within a single elevated privileges block.
