UCT, please correct me if any of the following is incorrect:
It's my understanding that brokers like UCT, TicketMania, and Maple Leaf, do nto have direct access to the WDW computer system. Because of that, they are physically unable to upgrade, cancel, or re-issue tickets themselves, because those operations require direct access to the WDW computer system. This is why you cannot upgrade, exchange or cancel tickets at the Disney Stores (they don't have direct access to the WDW computer, either), or at an off-site hotel, or online, or over the phone. And that's why the brokers can't do those things, either - they must be done at a Ticket Sales or Guest Relations window at the WDW theme parks or Downtown Disney.
On-site resorts only have partial connectivity with the ticket computer system, which is why they can do some things, like sell tickets, but they cannot do others, like upgrade to APs.
