Error Forbidden in Splunk Security Essentails Baseline Search

Hello everyone, I am using Splunk Developer Edition . I did  contents mapping for the first time in Splunk Security Essentials and implemented those contents successfully. But when I was trying to run a baseline search for those contents in the Data Availability page, there was an error forbidden. I tried to resolve the problem but everything proves abortive.

My Question

Does Splunk allow to run a baseline search when using Splunk Developer Edition, If so, While I keep getting error forbidden. 

Below are screenshots I attached

Developer license is (almost) full license and it allow you to do searches, user authentication etc. Only think when e.g. searches are disabled is that you overdrive you ingestion amount too many times (depending on dev licenses it's 10 or 50GB/d and 4 overdrive is allowed within 30d).

What you actually mean "run a baseline search"?

On clicking 'Run Baseline Search' Automatically all settings for contents already implemented supposed to run but all i see is this:

As you can see in the photo above 'Action forbidden'

How can I resolve the error
