How do I create a new category in Learning Pathways without Azure?

Question

I am attempting to create new categories in Microsoft Learning Pathways. No issue with subcategories or playlists, those are a breeze. We are utilizing Sharepoint, not Azure. Everything I read seems to point to needing Azure to accomplish creating new categories within pathways. I am an admin for Sharepoint and just need admin access so we can create the library structure, which this admin permission does not seem to grant me. How would I grant those permissions or how would I access creating new categories.
