You will not be able to select Create Subaccount because your trial global account is limited to one subaccount, unless you deleted the subaccount automatically created when you created your trial account.

Click Next.
On the Add Users screen, you are automatically giving the apprpriate roles so there is nothing to do here.

Step 2Create password for new identity provider
+
SAP Build Apps requires that users be part of a custom identity provider, and to log in to SAP Build Apps using this identity provider.
One of things the booster did was to create a new identity provider for you. But you will have to activate your user on that identity provider.
After running the booster, you will get an email to activate your account on this new identity provide.
Email
Click the button to activate your account, and follow the instructions for creating a password for this new custom identity provider.
When you are done you will see a new browser tab with the administration UI for managing users and authorizations for this identity provider. There is nothing to be done on this screen.
Step 3Open SAP Build Apps

In the cockpit of your subaccount, go to Services and Instances.

In subsequent logins, you may be presented with 2 identity providers to log in with. SAP Build Apps requires the custom identity provider, so select the identity provider that is NOT Default identity provider.
When you do login to SAP Build Apps, use your password that you created for the custom identity provider.
