I have the admin profile but i’m not allowed to edit or create properties, the help label it’s advicing

You’re not authorized to edit this field. Please talk to your manager or account administrator about changing your permissions

But i’m the admin so.

Simply being a HubSpot Admin doesn’t enable permission to Edit Properties (by default). Edit Properties is a permission that must be granted to you by the HubSpot Super Admin for your portal. That permission also grants access to Lead Scoring, so … just an FYI.
