Manager Substitute for Holidays

After some more complaints during the summer, I just launched the long-awaited possibility to let another manager manage my own driver - A temporary substitution.

You can set up your substitute in the account setting. For that, you need to find out your friend`s USER_ID which can be found in his user profile.

For example, if DebiK set Arskap as my substitute he (Arskap) will be able to log in to my (DebiK) account using his own password. He just needs to use Arskap@DebiK as the username for login. That basically means Arskap is logged in to DebiK`s account.

Conditions

Substitute logins are not unlimited.

The user who wants to set his substitute needs to be a Superlicense holder.
Substitutes can log in to User`s account for a limited time only which is set to 21 days from the first login. This is also called Substitute Login Window.
After the Substitute Login Window, another Substitute login is possible after 30 days. This is also called Substitute Login Cooldown.
Users can close Substitute Login Window earlier than 21 days after the first Substitute login. In such a case, Substitute Login Cooldown starts immediately.
Users can log in to their account anytime during this Superlicense Login Window.

Examples

Standard Case
The user goes on holiday and set his substitute. Substitute logins for the first time which triggers Substitution Login Window for 21 days. After this 21 days, Substitute Login Cooldown is started and the substitute login is blocked. Next Substitute login is possible after another 30 days which means 51 days after the first login. In such a case, a new Substitute Login Window is started.

Case 1
The user goes on holiday for 30 days. He prepares instructions for his Substitute on how to handle the situation and sets everything possible for his next races. Substitute logins only after 5 days and starts the Substitute Login Window which closes after 26 days since User left for holiday. The substitute sets up everything possible for the next races. Then there are only 4 days left until User returns from holiday.

Case 2
The user goes for 10 days holiday but then after another 31 days, he goes for another one. Substitute logins to the game and starts Substitute Login Window. After 10 days user comes back, goes to settings manually, and closes the Substitute Login Window which immediately starts Substitute Login Cooldown. After 30 days Cooldown is done and when the user leaves for another holiday after 31 days Substitute can log in to the game again and starts a new Substitute Login Window.
