Groups can't add new content/page + "Add to" function doesn't work

Permalink
I'm using the version 5.6.0.2.

I've the problem that I can add user groups, but the user (groups) can't add new content. They just can edit existing content. Isn't it possible for non-admins to access the dashboard?

Another problem is, that I can't use the "Add to" function, the menu (Add Block) doesn't appear (own theme using the following code:
<?php
$Content = new Area('Content');
$Content->display($c);
?>
)
Any idea?

Could be your permissions, could be your code?

I use this:
<?php   
$a = new Area('Content');
$a->display($c);
?>

For areas
