Does a Flow need to be owned by a user with a Google Account? A flow broke because we disabled an employees account. We reenabled so its working again but would like to change the owner of the flow to a Service Account or a non-personal account. I'm finding that you need to login to Dataprep though, which makes me think it may need to be owned by a Google Account.
Please help! :)

I am trying to find out how to give a developer the least amount of access they need to my business PayPal account for my app. How should I set this up so I protect my private account information from the developer while allowing them enough access to develop?
They need access to test and develop with the PayPal APIs. I created a sandbox account for the app, I gave the developer the Sandbox ID and API Credentials along with the sandbox test accounts I created.
The developer asked if I could give them the login for my PayPal developer account so they can see the Dashboard for testing and see can transactions. I don't think this is the right way or they could access my bank, and company information.
I have read the PayPal documentation for information about this but can't find much. This guide has the most information I've found but not exactly what I am looking for.
In your account, go to your profile settings and find Manage Users. There you can add a user and select the amount of access they can have. Give them the username and password you make for them, NEVER give your email and password.
To get started using adding users to your account and managing their levels of access, log in to your PayPal account, go to your Profile, and click Manage Users under Account Information.

Your developer does not need access to your account at all, regular paypal.com or developer.paypal.com.
They would simply login to developer.paypal.com with their own PayPal account and create their own test accounts for use in the sandbox. They can build your app using their own test accounts, and then hand it over to you so that you can simply update the API credentials with your live values and ensure the code is running live instead of against the sandbox at that point.
developer from India can create Paypal sandbox account as i am also from India and created sandbox account.
Use this,
https://www.paypal.com/businessprofile/mytools/apiaccess
go to paypal, all tools, you can see manage API, press update, then you'll see that screen. Im doing it right now, i don't know if it will work.
we're not using the API - we just need to integrate a pre-made plugin for our CMS and help our client setup their account.
We've been looking here:
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/lifecycle/ug_sandbox/
But are having trouble understanding a few things:
If you live outside the US, you can't create a developer account on: https://developer.paypal.com
Do we somehow create a developer account (and dummy sandbox accounts) on paypal.co.nz?
Once we have a developer account, can it granted developer access to the client's PayPal account so we can login and test/trouble shoot any integration issues?
Sorry if this is easy, but we're having trouble finding a good overview or step-by-step of the process.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers
First off, Ebay and PayPal have different APIs and different accounts. So creating an account on Ebay would only let you test against the Ebay API.
Can't comment on the NZ vs US thing. The signup form didn't ask me for a country. But, in theory, the developer site shouldn't care (it's a developer site, not live PayPal).
Granting third party access isn't something you do through the Developer site. That's done with your live PayPal credentials and their authorizing you. Not sure if this can be done in REST but it is possible in Classic
Because the sign up form on developer.paypay.com won't accept non-us addresses, you have to sign up by doing the following:
Go to your local paypal site e.g. paypal.com.au or paypal.co.nz
Sign up for a normal account
Go to developer.paypal.com
Sign in with the normal account you just created
Paypal will then use your new normal account details to create a developer account.
From then on, just login at developer.paypal.com.
Is it possible to connect user profiles to their respective PayPal accounts? Almost like an amazon system but with PayPal accounts connected to each individual user that logs in. How could I do this or where/who should I go to, to learn how to do this?
Set your site up so your users log in with their PayPal credentials. https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/direct/identity/log-in-with-paypal/
I am creating an asp.net site to interact with Paypal. To see if my code works, I want to use the PayPal sandbox. I read that the steps are:
Establish a developer account on Developer central (developer.paypal.com)
but when I go there and click on "sign up", it seems to be creating a "business account" instead.
Also, it says to create a personal account on the sandbox. Can (or should) this have the same email address as the developer account?
I also have a personal (non-sandbox) paypal account I've been using for years - should I avoid using the email address that I use for that account with the developer account?
I read that I should create a business account on the sandbox. Does that use the same address as the personal account for the sandbox? (or as as the developer account)
(The instructions I'm looking at are at:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/sell/ipn-test-outside)
Thanks.
1 & #3 -- If your existing account is a business account, yes go ahead and use it for creating your developer account. Or if it's a personal account, pick a different email address to use just for your business account and use that when you log in to developer.paypal.com
2 & #4 -- Creating a Sandbox account is different. You will do this within Developer Central once you are logged in. You can makeup a fake email address for this, I recommend not using a real email address.
I was using Paypal Sandbox for testing transactions last year using my PayPal developer account.
I just checked last week that I cannot access my old account, so I decided to sign up for a new account. However, you need now to sign up for a business account. Business account is only available to U.S. businesses (I came from outside the US).
I was hoping if you can suggest an alternative and free developer account (similar to PayPal), but with a different payment gateway.
Thank you.
How about stripe ?
Stripe
Uses a JavaScript based API to complete transactions.
Simpler to integrate with multiple platforms.
You don't need a US Business account to use developer.paypal.com.
Simply sign up via https://www.paypal.com/ for a live PayPal account, either Premier or Business, and you'll be able to log in to developer.paypal.com with it.
Note however that the new REST API is currently available for live US Business accounts only, but this won't affect the availability of other Sandbox products or functionality.
I'll look into why the messaging states that you do, because that's not correct. Thanks for pointing this out!
