How do you add your first resource to a blank system? + button is grey under Enterprise Resource

How do you add your first resource to a blank system? + button is grey under Enterprise Resource.  I know how to add normally when there is an existing resource dictionary.  It has been a while but I vaguely recall you have to have activity code and roles codes or something weird to add a new item.  I go to Enterprise Resource and all the buttons are greyed out.  It is a new corporate system over Citrix, so maybe it is an admin issue.  I can add resource codes and cost account codes, but the resource.  It does not matter if I filter by "all resources", because there are none.
