I am trying to add an event from my Windows application (C#) and I’m getting an error when I try to add an event.

Here is the full error:

{“code”:”rest_cannot_create_events”,”message”:”Sorry, you are not allowed to create events. Missing permissions: ee_edit_events,ee_edit_others_events,ee_edit_private_events”,”data”:{“status”:403}}

I’ve gone in and made sure the account I’m logging in as has all the permissions necessary.

I am trying this with Cookie Authentication

` string formVars = “”;
string result = “”;
string eventUrl = $”<url>/wp-login.php”;
Dictionary<string, string> headers = new Dictionary<string, string>();
formVars = $”log={UserName}&pwd={Password}”;

Cookie = new System.Net.CookieContainer();

AllowAutoRedirect = false;

result = PerformPost(eventUrl, formVars, true, headers);

Which comes back fine and generates a couple of cookies, but as soon as I try to do a POST to add an event, I get the above error.

Are there any examples of doing this already?

Am I missing something in the configuration?

If my POST message is not formatted correctly, will I get this error or should I be expecting a different type of error?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
