Adding resources under the hub is used to add internal resources only. Resources get assigned to a job along with an operator. You can track resources on a map as they are executing work. In IronSight a resource can be a:

Important note: You can give your Partner companies the responsibility of stewarding their own users, units, and jobs. When you add a Partner Admin, they will get limited access to your hub where they can add/manage only their own company’s data.
For example: Internal Admin from Oil Co. can add a Partner Admin from Vendor Co. This Partner Admin would log into the hub, and start adding units and users that belong to Vendor Co. They will not be able to to see users, units, or jobs that belong to another company.
ALL DONE!
