Error importing Project Accelerator for Project on the web in power apps

I want to import the Project Accelerator solution for Project for the web (Project Plan 3). The solution can be downloaded form github https://github.com/OfficeDev/Project-Accelerator

I am using a 30 day free trial version of M365 Business premium and Project planner premium with Project Plan 3. The suggested method to install the solution (as per above github repo Maintained by microsoft) is using

http://powerapps.com > solutions > import solution

upload the zip file download from the github page.

I have global admin rights and using the default environment, and Rights to create Power Automate flows using the Common Data Service connector. However, when I get the following error message

Solution "Project for the web Accelerator" failed to import: OptionSets import: FAILURE: SecLib::CheckPrivilege failed. User: XXXXXXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXXX, PrivilegeName: prvCreateOptionSet, PrivilegeId: XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX Required Depth: Basic, BusinessUnitId: XXXXX-XXXXXX--XXXXXX, MetadataCache Privileges Count: 5443, User Privileges Count: 1632

I am login in as the global administrator so all permissions must be already in place. In the Power Platform Admin Center, Environments > Settings > Users + Permissions > Security Roles and checked the user's assigned roles. All seems ok.

Any help will be most useful.

    Try below to fix the import error:

     

    1. Verify Dataverse Security Role

    Global admin rights in Microsoft 365 don’t automatically grant full privileges in Dataverse. You need to ensure your user has a System Administrator role specifically within the Power Platform environment:

    • Go to Power Platform Admin Center
    • Navigate to Environments > [Your Environment] > Settings > Users + Permissions > Users
    • Select your user and confirm that System Administrator is listed under Security Roles

    If not, assign it manually.

    1. Check Environment Type

    Some trial environments (especially default ones) may have restrictions. Consider creating a new environment with Dataverse enabled:

    • Go to Power Platform Admin Center
    • Create a new Production or Trial environment (not the default one)
    • Enable Dataverse during setup
    • Assign yourself the System Administrator role in this new environment
    1. Enable Required Features

    Ensure that Dynamics 365 apps are enabled in your environment:

    • Go to Admin Center > Dynamics 365 apps
    • Make sure the environment has Dynamics 365 Project Operations or Dataverse for Teams enabled
    1. Try Importing via PowerShell or CLI

    If the UI import keeps failing, you can try importing the solution using Power Platform CLI or PowerShell. This sometimes bypasses UI-level permission checks.
