I am at the beginning of my website project and now for requirements step I want to grouping the roles of website users,there is three roles for the users:
Users who visit the website an use it's free services.
Users who have an account and uses it's more free services.
Users who have an account and monthly pay for using paid services.
Admin user of the website.
What is the best roles for these users?
You seem to have two roles:
Admin
User
The User role seems to be separated into three tiers or types:
Unregistered users
Registered Users
Paid/Subscription Users
That's how you need to be thinking about your groups of users. Admins don't really count unless you have special privileges. How you treat your different levels of users is very important however since I assume your goal is to "land and expand". i.e. Lure in users with free services, get them to register with further offerings and then get them to pay for even more advanced levels of service.

complete noob here.Any help is really appreciated because we are under the cosh.
My team is building out a bespoke donation form for a charity client and are trying to integrate Paypal.
The problem is that the api we are working with is requesting a Paypal ClientID and ClientSecret ID.
What is the best practice for getting these values? I've read that you have to set up a developer account via Paypal and then set up an app, however, does that mean we require access to their paypal account.
Can they grant limited access to their paypal account so we can create values?
Thanks in advance :)
You'll need to use a sandbox account:
https://developer.paypal.com/developer/accounts/
This will create a dummy version with no real transactions that you'll have full access to, alongside a production version that only your client will see.
You can determine which of these accounts is used through env vars, switching out the client ID as needed depending on which environment you're performing the transactions on.
But at the end of the day, yeah, you will have access to their production client ID and client secret ID. There's no way to get these onto your server unless your client is able to do it themselves.

I just entered a company which is developing a website supporting hosts in Airbnb. Basically, this website will give the recommending price for hosts after they login in the Airbnb.
I noticed that the website have stored the hosts' passwords of Airbnb in database. The passwords are stored in secret code, but it can be encrypted by a key. When a host wants to update the price on this site, the site will send a request to Airbnb to get the token with the password stored in database.
Websites such as Beyondpricing have similar function. I am wondering how they realised it. Should a website storage Airbnb users' passwords？
The general rule is passwords should always be hashed to protect from improper use.
In this case your company (and likely others) are encouraging AirBnB customers to break AirBnB's Terms of Service, from their website:
You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party.

I'm using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and we have to design three desktop applications (a Finance management application, a human resource management application and a warehouse management application using object oriented programming).
The client wants each person in their company to have only one account for the three applications (like google account that let you access google drive, google mail, google+)
How can I design an account system in order to access each application?
You need to create and account system to manage your unique ids.
An unique id can be an e-mail address, phone number, taxpayer identification number, an UUID (an auto-generated universal unique identification), a social id (gmail, github, facebook) or any other method to create it.
You can also set one primary and contactable unique id with alternative account ids.
Now, consider the following responsibilities (a responsibility can be implemented by one or more classes):
An Activity (a command, action or method) to be managed.
An User that uses the account system and decorates a Person or any other Actor.
And an AccessRole responsible to keep who (an actor) can perform an activity.

I have a web app which requires user to register and login to use it. In the database, i have a serial number for every user that is auto generated. The buisness logic uses these serial number to identify users and not their username or email id. Now if i login using Facebook or google +, how to proceed? without a serial number, the buisness logic fails.
You can auto register the user while making them log into the system by google or fb. Then you can easily auto generate the serial numbers as per your business logic.

I am looking for a Google Apps API that allows me to retrieve all domain names associated with the Google Apps instance.
I am looking for the programmatic equivalent of this: https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/gcompany.nl/DomainSettingsDomains
As an added bonus it would be really nice if there is also a way to check if a given domain name is used as an Alias or in a Multi-domain configuration.
Additional requirements:
I need this API to be available using a Google App Engine app (Java).
the API must allow authentication using OAUTH.
The owner of the app is NOT a Google Apps Reseller (no special privileges).
The app only needs readonly access.
Your answer is correct. There's a issue requesting an API call to retrieve the domains associated with an instance. I'd suggest starring it:
http://code.google.com/a/google.com/p/apps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=2278
The "lightest weight" retrieve all users function is the Retrieve All Organization Users since only the primary email and Org is returned for each user, not details like first and last name, suspended status, admin status, etc:
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/provisioning/#retrieving_organization_users_experimental
domain aliases and secondary domains which have no users won't be returned by this functionality of course.

I could not locate a Google Apps API to do this. Too bad.
The next best thing is to either use the Provisioning API or User Profiles API, fetch all (user) entries, take the PRIMARY Email address for each entry and parse that to get the domain name.
This is pretty messy, especially if you've got a Google Apps domain with tens of thousands of users.
