You're correct, the trial site does not offer access to the Admin Console. That being said, I also don't think you're missing too much - the Admin Console is mainly for setting up configurations and is pretty easy to understand without requiring any practice. If you're interested in the capabilities in the Admin Console, the documentation is pretty comprehensive. Also if you have questions on certain functionality, please don't hesitate to post here!

Thanks Peter for your reply.

I have finished the "Quick Apps: Build Apps Fast and with No Code" course and I was following the steps using the Trial version, I was able to create a quick app and edit it in both Quick Apps Designer and the Appian Designer.

But I couldn't follow the steps mentioned in the "Configuring Appian For Quick Apps" lesson in the same course, as I wasn't able to access the Admin Console.

That's why I thought, something is missing from my side!

So, does this mean I will not be able to apply ant Admin configurations in my Trial version? and if So, is there another way to practice and navigate Appian Admin options?

I don't think you'll be able to get Administrator access on a trial site - however, you can still access Quick Apps from the Appian Designer. If you create a new application, just choose "Create Using Application Builder (Full)". This is the exact same wizard that you will go through using the Quick Apps designer, but it will just add your application directly to the Appian Designer. See here for more information on using the Application Builder.
