I am admin to a Google Business account. I have 12 users in the account. Some of my users are able to have 3+ lists shared, but others are getting prompts that they need to have "Premium" in order to be able to have more shared lists whenever they try to add a third list. Why is this only being prompted for some of the users, while the others can have 4 or 5 shared lists?

This is not a programming question sorry about that. It's more of a design approach.
How to deal with fake accounts without having to take personal details like phone number or email.
Usually websites make sure the user is unique by asking for phone number or email address which is then verified using an OTP or a verify link.
Is there any way one can ensure the users are unique without these details?
If you want to ensure that they aren't a robot generating accounts then there is always CAPTCHA.
Usually a phone number or email is useful because almost everyone has them, so they are decent for keeping track of users. They don't really ensure that all users are unique though since people can have multiple accounts.
An alternative option would be to store the matching IP addresses and limit the accounts to one per IP, but if the user has multiple devices then this will also fall through, or if they use a VPN.
It's basically impossible to ensure that all accounts are entirely unique users, but a combination of these can limit the amount of users with multiple accounts.
I have two different types of Apps(Shopping & Games) & don't want to publish under same Google Play Developer account. I want one Google Play Developer account named: "online shopping" and other named: "Amazing Games"
Q#1: Will I create two different Google Play Developer accounts($25+$25) or there is any option to create 2 accounts with different names in single Google Play Developer account?
Q#2: If I create two different Google Play Developer accounts, then can I create it with different name & emails with same Laptop & IP?
Q#3: Then can I connect both with one Admob account?
Q#1: Will I create two different Google Play Developer accounts($25+$25) or there is any option to create 2 accounts with different names in single Google Play Developer account?
There is no option to create 2 stores under 1 google play account. So the only option you have is to create 2 separate google play accounts (one for online shopping and the other for Games) Which is $50.
Q#2: If I create two different Google Play Developer accounts, then can I create it with different name & emails with same Laptop & IP? Q#3: Then can I connect both with one Admob account?
Yes, You can create different name & emails with same laptop & IP, but I don't recommend that because whenever you got a termination on one of your accounts the other get terminated also (Google states that in their Policies).
Here's example of how google can detect multiple accounts and get all of your accounts suspended whenever one of them get terminated.
2 Accounts Under the same Laptop & IP
2 Accounts with Gmails created under the same laptop (Even if you connect them separately)
Same credit card used for the 2 accounts.
How to avoid that?
Use separate laptop and separate connection for your accounts (You can use RDP or Proxies, Be prudent with that and use some premium proxies,RDPs or Socks)
Use some OLD gmails, You can either purchase them or create new ones separately like stated above.
Purchase your accounts with separate credit card (You can use Gift Cards, Don't use service like Entropay, Google Don't love them and your accounts won't last long).
At last and not least, don't violate Google Policy to not get your account banned (Use your own Graphics, use keywords wisely and don't use copyrighted graphics or keywords).
Enjoy Google Play.
I'm using SonarQube-6.7.1.
We have several teams (6) who share the one production instance.
They are asking me to find a way to limit the scope of the users.
They want to see only their own projects.
What is the best way to do that
Limit the projects' Browse permissions to only the relevant people.
Start by removing the ability of "Anyone" (a special group in SonarQube that includes anonymous) to see the projects, then grant Browse as needed.
This will be easiest in the long term if you first create groups, and grant permissions to the groups rather than to the individual users.
we have 2 applications in the Play Store in 2 different developer accounts who essentially do the same thing. Is it possible to "merge" those apps, i.e. remove app A from the store and notify users of app A there's an update, which installs app B? Otherwise we would lose all users from app A.
To clarify: I do NOT want to merge the code, I want to get rid of app A but not lose the users, they should update to app B.
No. Google Play does not currently support this feature, and requests by myself to do the same thing have not been answered or were rejected.
You need to find another way to move users to a new app, which is not easy if they are in the hundreds of thousands.
Let me state first: I know that any user that wants to run a program (or even log in), has to have access to (probably at least) the Windows system directories and the shared libraries in %ProgramFiles%, but I'd like to be able to access Skype, for example, by running it with an unprivileged user and make sure that it can't access any unnecessary files.
I fear that the only way to do this would be to identify all of the gazillion directories where I store files that I don't want this user to access and then create a new user group that can access these directories, or run Skype and Azureus in a VM.
Is there a better way?
Normally, accounts are members of the Users group at least, which does have access to many things. You could make the account a member of no groups, or the Guests group which is very restrictive.
The real issue is that the program's token (an internal security object that keeps track of what security identities a running process has) will contain the Everyone and Authenticated Users groups, which also have read access to lots of stuff. There is no way to create an account without those groups. You could remove the access that Everyone and Authenticated Users groups have to most everything, but it would be a lot of work to track all those down.
I would say that creating a standard user or guest access account for untrusted programs would be plenty secure enough. To support self-updates and to keep related files in the same place, I suggest you install those programs directly in the profile of the user account they will be running as, e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\skype\Program Files\Skype
If you want to get really fancy, you can use a restricted token to either make the Everyone, Authenticated Users, etc. groups deny only (so they can't grant any access) or create a Restricted SID list. This will be difficult to implement because there are global objects that programs will expect to access that the Everyone group has access to, which is normally a safe choice.
See CreateRestrictedToken Function.
There is also an open-source command line program I created a program for creating restricted tokens and job objects on the fly for that purpose: UlimitNT
Maybe sudown is a solution. It's a sudo-similar (as known from Linux) approach to running as unprivileged user, but having the possibility to promote to an administrative account (with password) when needed.
I suppose you could lock down the machine so the user can solely log on, not even start skype with his rights, but start skype by "run as" with sudown.
Besides using a VM you could look into using a Sandbox. Look at Sandboxie fox an example.
simply use acl apis (samples in msdn)
