Discourse has the try.discourse.org forum as a place to see user features. Maybe you could create a parallel forum as a place to see admin features? Something like tryadmin.discourse.org
I understand you have a 14 day free trial, but at this stage I am just exploring one or two features at a time, very informally.
How do you imagine that working? An admin has access to everything, but maybe you wouldn’t like it if other testers had access to your email address and your IP address. In order to try things out, you would also have to be allowed to change things. How do you ensure that this isn’t exploited, for example, that no one installs a theme component that spies on others?
It’s quite easy to set up a dev install in a GitHub codespace. I have used that for testing the admin experience before: Developing Discourse on GitHub Codespaces. Of course, any other dev-install works too.
Thanks, I will try Codespace
Also: trials are fast to spin up and do not require a credit card, no problem with you spinning up a few over the course of your evaluation
