Umm... yeah, that's called dev environment vs production environment.
I've found it far easier to grant a beta a look into the dev environment
than to muck about in the production environment - that is supposed to
be production code, not the dev test branch.

Create a limited user for them to use in the dev environment during the
beta period, then just delete that user (or simply invalidate the
account if you like them and would use them as a beta again).

Nothing scores more brownie points with a beta (who is a volunteer after
all) than when they login for the next beta period and see all their
personal settings from the prior beta...
