Suggestion for web portal config

What I want is a way to switch back to manual config mode without deleting it from my Obi Dashboard on the web. This will allow the user to switch between the web config mode and manual config mode without having to totally delete and add a device. The device will still appear on the dashboard but will not be influenced by the web settings.
You can stop the device from being influenced by web settings by simply setting the Auto Provisioning Method in the device to Disabled. However, any changes you make to the device will be overwritten by the current web settings when you later re-enable Auto Provisioning unless you first manually update the web site with all the changes you've made to the device in the meantime.

Great but that defeats my purpose since I want to remotely configure devices for others. I can't log into the http port locally since I don't have a 1000 mile long cable. That being the case, I can't enable and disable auto provisioning whenever I want. You want me to do it at the device and I want to do it on the web portal/dashboard. That is my whole point and the reason for the suggestion in the first place! I am doing my best to describe it...
All that is needed is a simple change to the website portal/dashboard that allows me to turn off the configuration information from going out to the Obi110. A switch that turns off (or on) configuration information coming from the website to the device.

Yeah. ;) I was looking in the wrong place on the Obi. See my other post though. I guess I am making a simple request too complicated. Hopefully the other post explains it better.

The other day when I was helping someone troubleshoot I wished there was an alternate login for the dashboard so I could check the configuration. At least a way to login to the Expert Config by itself without getting to the dashboard.
If you are going to configure units remotely why would you not want the configuration going to the device?
I have just started experimenting with configuration from backups but not having much luck. It seems when I backup and then restore nothing changes except the time settings.
