You can create users and update profiles via the API (and i'm pretty sure you can create roles as well). You can not create new profiles via the API.

can we set the field level security for each role via API or at least can we view it ?

Field Level Security is implicity applied for each user through the API.

We do not have a way to set it through the API yet, but it's on our API roadmap

Is it possible to create a user via the API (using PHP), using a "developer account"?
I'm getting the error "Unable to create/update fields: Name. Please check the security settings of this field and verify that it is read/write for your profile."

Please find the details here:
My Salesforce developer id: mohammad.azad@hitechito.com

PHP Code to create the user via API:

$sObject = new SObject();
$sObject->type = 'User';
$sObject->fields = array(
'Username' => 'mohammad@ktgraphics.com',
'LastName' => 'Last',
'FirstName' => 'First',
'Name' => 'First Last',
'Email' => 'mohammad@ktgraphics.com',
'Alias' => 'mohammad@ktgraphics.com',
'CommunityNickname' => 'mohammad@ktgraphics.com',
'IsActive' => 'true',
'TimeZoneSidKey'=> 'America/New_York',
'LocaleSidKey' => 'en_US',
'EmailEncodingKey' => 'ISO-8859-1',
'ProfileId' => '00e80000000pdX4AAI',

'LanguageLocaleKey' => 'en_US',
);

$rsp = $client->create(array($sObject));
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here goes the response:

stdClass Object
(
[errors] => stdClass Object
(
[fields] => Name
[message] => Unable to create/update fields: Name. Please check the security settings of this field and verify that it is read/write for your profile.

You already set firstname and lastName, no need to set name as well.
