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.

    That error means your trial environment doesn’t have the necessary Dataverse privileges (specifically prvCreateOptionSet). Global admin rights don’t automatically grant those in Power Platform. You’ll need to assign yourself the System Administrator security role in the target environment or create a new Dataverse environment with Project enabled, then import the solution there.

    This error is about missing Dataverse system privileges in the environment you’re importing the Project Accelerator into. Global admin in M365 does not automatically grant you all Dataverse (CDS) privileges, especially those for creating global Option Sets (which the Accelerator solution does when it installs). 

    Solution : 

    • Go to Power Platform Admin Center → https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com
    • Select your environment.
    • Go to Settings → Users + permissions → Users.
    • Find your user → Open record.
    • Click Manage Roles.
    • Check: System Administrator (Dataverse role). This role has all CRUD permissions, including prvCreateOptionSet
    • Save 

    All the best
