👤 User Management

User accounts in LogBook are used to track drivers, assign roles, and manage access across the system. Each user is uniquely identified by their Steam profile ID and associated VTC tag.

Core identifiers

• steamid – primary unique ID (usually 17-digit Steam64)
• username – display name used within the system
• vtc – VTC prefix or tag (used to separate multi-VTC data)

Authentication

• Sessions are stored via PHP and checked on each page load
• Login system may use internal credentials or third-party login (Steam OAuth optional)
• Authentication is required for submitting jobs, earning XP, and viewing personal stats

Role assignment

• Each user has a role column (e.g. "driver", "dispatcher", "admin")
• Roles are used to control access to pages and actions
• Admins can change user roles from the admin interface

User data fields

• total_xp – current XP total
• rank – current rank label (calculated from XP)
• joined_at – timestamp when user was created
• last_login – for tracking activity

Multi-VTC support

• Tables can be prefixed by VTC tag (e.g. abc_vtc_jobs)
• This allows separation of data across multiple VTCs on one platform
