Suggestion for web portal config

If you are going to configure units remotely why would you not want the configuration going to the device?
The main reason I want this feature is so that I can delete the passwords from the configurations I have stored on the web portal.
It would allow me to configure someone's device through the dashboard with all information. Then I could stop the dashboard from sending any more config information. After that I could delete the password from the saved config on the web portal. As it is now, if I remove the password on the web portal config, it gets removed from the device.
If I had this switch it would allow me to keep password info from being stored on Obi's server.
RonR:
It appears that each time the 'Submit' button on an OBi Expert page is used, the OBi Expert config is saved to OBiTALK immediately instead of the changes being deferred like they are in an OBi device. If the OBi Expert fully mimicked the OBi device and only saved changes to OBiTALK after all changes have been made (a Config Current / Save Required icon plus a SAVE button in OBi Expert which would be the equivalent of a Config Current / Reboot required icon and the REBOOT button in an OBi device), wouldn't that suit your needs?
I don't disagree that a global 'Disable Provisioning' option from the OBiTALK side would also be beneficial to have.

Passwords are not stored on Obi's server. The password, if changed, is sent to the device on the next sync and then deleted from Obi's server.

Is that true? The introduction to OBi Expert Configuration states:
"When a password is entered and submitted via the OBiTALK or OBi Expert Configuration web pages, it is sent securely to the device (on the next profile re-sync) and then deleted."
Are you saying that every time you use OBi Expert, you have to re-enter all the passwords or they're removed from the OBi device if your make any changes which cause a profile re-sync? If that's required, it's pretty awful. I would have assumed that empty password fields would simply not be included in the profile re-sync, leaving the existing ones in the device alone.

I think so Ron, if I followed all that. :)

I actually just did a test with my own config and deleted the password on my SP2 account. To my surprise it didn't get deleted in my Obi110. I did it twice making sure I saved the config on the web portal. I also rebooted my Obi locally.
So I could have been wrong. (it happens occasionally) I may be able to do what I want to do without the global switch as you so aptly called it.
