Service Resources are records that represent the people or equipment that perform field service
tasks[53]. Permission Set Licenses are licenses that grant users access to specific features such as
Field Service Dispatcher Console or Field Service Mobile App[54]. Creating one service resource and
assigning the relevant permission set license would allow an employee at Universal Containers to
perform both dispatcher and technician roles using one record and one license. Creating two skills
records and assigning them to service resources record would not affect their roles or access to
features. Skills are records that define specific abilities or qualifications that service resources
have[55]. Creating two service resources and assigning them to the employee would create duplicate
records and require two licenses for one employee. Creating one service resource and assigning the
technician and dispatcher role would not work because roles are not fields on the service resource
object.
