Consolidate the Registration/Logon for two websites

Summary:

I need the registration process for two websites merged, so that the user will only have to register once to have access and use of both sites. Both sites are on the same domain, and use their own separate database. Both sites also allow for the creation of a user profile.

Websites:

One website is a freelancer website, and the other is a Q&A website similar to Yahoo Answers.

Requirements:

1. Merge the registration process so that the user only has to register once to access both sites. Registration should be done through the freelancer website. Once the user registers and logs on, they should automatically be logged into the Q&A website, and when the user logs out, it should log out of both websites.

2. Limit the privileges on the Q&A website based on role: Users will register as either employers or providers. If the user registers as an employer, they should be prevented from answering questions on the Q&A site. If the user registers as a provider, they can both ask and answer questions on the Q&A site. Only providers should have the ability to answer questions on the Q&A site.

3. Create a Sign-in/Logout link that will be used in the header of both sites.

4. Merge the profile data across both sites: In the Q&A site, a users profile picture and username are displayed next to the questions that the user posts. Please make sure this information is consistent with the registration information created under the merged registration process.
