Nothing prevents you from stopping the service, firing up WUG on the console then shutting down the console and starting up the service. You can search the archives for some hints but here's what I do.
After stopping the service and waiting a short period to let any outstanding polls finish, I execute a shortcut that kills WUG. Create a shortcut to Whatsupg.exe on your desktop, right click on it and click properties. In the target after the last quote character add the command -kill .
I then start the gui, do the edit, save changes, stop the gui, wait a little for polls to finish, execute that shortcut that kills wug, then re-start the service.
I've had instances in not following the above where things were not fully stopped thus creating a strange effect of partial operation (or non operation from the half empty viewpoint).
You should keep for yourself and trusted minions the capability of configuring from the web. When you change a device (say add a service) from the web, you'll need to save the map, and if you don't give yourself that capability, you'll always be running to the console. If you run your maps in graphic mode, don't add devices from the web, you won't like the results.

Thanks for the replies to my previous question, I am new to the product and really appreciate the feedback from those who have been using the product; I find it much more useful then the User's guide (Which is not the best written, I've seen) or from online FAQ's. However, I will try not to abuse this forum, too much.
My question today is: I am looking over the option to run WUG as a service, I read that if it is run as as service, any configuration changes must be done via the Web Client. I don't want to set up the security to let some people configure maps via the web, and others only to view it. So what is to stop me from taking WUG out of Service Mode, when I need to edit a Map and then returning it to service mode when I am done?
Thanks!
