 * This script adds multiple hardware to a portal user's hardware access list. This script works for multiple 
 * users and the users need to be able the permission: "View Hardware Details", you can set this in the following 
 * link: https://control.softlayer.com/account/users or using SoftLayer_User_Customer::addPortalPermission by API. 
 * This script works specifying just usernames from users and hostnames from hardware objects.
