Profile vs Characters

EFT-Kappa uses a small hierarchy to track your progression data.

Profile​

The user profile is directly tied to your login. When you login to the site information is used from the OAuth provider to create a unique account for you.

The profile is very lightweight and only serves a few purposes:

  • Providing a Unique profile name
  • Character ownership
  • Character permission sharing

Character​

The character is where all of your Tarkov progression is tracked. A profile can have many characters associated to it. There is currently no limit to the number of characters a profile can have, however, it safe to assume that 2 characters will always be available (one for PvP and one for PvE)

The character is where the bulk of the data is tracked, it is responsible for the following:

  • Character information
    • Level
    • Name
    • Faction
    • Target Task
  • Progression
    • Quest Progress
    • Quest Item Progress
    • Quest Priority

Sharing (Under Development)​

When a character is created it is associated to the profile that created it. This relationship is special and is the owning relationship.
The profile that owns a character will be able to assign read/write permission sharing with other profiles.

There are two types of character sharing under development:

  • Profile to Profile sharing
    • The Character owner would explicitly share their character with another profile. They can assign read only or read/write permission per profile
  • Anonymous sharing
    • The Character owner can elect to share their profile with everyone (no need for others to log in). This type of sharing would only allow read access and would require a special link to access.
