Can't create News Item through API, get You are not auth

I'm working through the SiteFinity Developer training and was working on how to create a news item. I've double checked my code (attached) but I get the following error (You are not authorized to 'Create 0' ('General'). )

In my searches it looks like this is a permissions thing. I've gone to news item permissions and it looks as though I have the administrator applied.

I'm working on a trial of SiteFinity 4.4 locally on my laptio with Visual Studio 2010.

Guess code didn't attach

Format Code Block
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       
            #region Normal API
            /*
            //Initialize the content manager with the default provider
            NewsManager manager = NewsManager.GetManager();

            //Create a new generic item
            NewsItem item = manager.CreateNewsItem();

            //Set item properties
            item.Title = "New News Content";
            item.DateCreated = DateTime.UtcNow;
            item.PublicationDate = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(1);
            item.ExpirationDate = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(30);
            item.Author = "Jason McIntosh";
            item.Content="<h1>New News Story From The Normal API</h1>";

            //generate URL and save changes
            manager.RecompileItemUrls<NewsItem>(item);

            //publish item
            manager.Publish(item);
            manager.SaveChanges();
            */
            #endregion

            #region Fluent API

            //Fluent API version

            Guid itemID = Guid.Empty;
            //App.WorkWith is important helps to create all kinds of things
            App.WorkWith().NewsItem().CreateNew()
                .Do(newsItem =>
               
                    itemID = newsItem.Id;
                    newsItem.Title = "Fluent News Content";
                    newsItem.DateCreated = DateTime.UtcNow;
                    newsItem.PublicationDate = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(1);
                    newsItem.ExpirationDate = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(30);
                    newsItem.Author = "Jason McIntosh";
                    newsItem.Content = "<h1>New News Story From The Normal API</h1>";
                )
                //Publish the item, and save changes
                //Without publish it's saved as a draft
                    .Publish()
                    .SaveChanges();

            #endregion
       

My Sitefinity dashboard and VS pages are pointing to different port numbers. I don't think this is an issue but not sure how to trouble shoot.

I'm still able to create a content item, but not a page or a blog through VS API code.

Hi,
