You should always state the Apex version. And this case, because this is related to authentication, the Authentication scheme you are using.
Assuming that you are using the Apex Built-in Auth scheme, you can achieve this by using User Groups feature and the APEX_UTIL.CURRENT_USER_IN_GROUP API.
Here are the high level steps:
a. Apex Builder > Administration > Manage Users and Groups
b. Create 2 users UAT1 and UAT2
c. Create 2 Groups UAT1Group and UAT2 Group
d. Assign UAT1 user to UAT1Group and UAT2 to UAT2Group
e. On the Home page of both the applications create a "Before Page Header" Branch that goes back to the Login Page. Make this branch conditional.This does not work, because in APEX you can go into any page after login bypassing the home page (like this http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=46417:9 where 9 is not home page)
So this branch will not run.
f. In "A" application you want only UAT1 to access , so use PL/SQL Expression type of condition in the above created branch that has the following code
return NOT APEX_UTIL.CURRENT_USER_IN_GROUP('UAT1Group')So the user UAT1 will return False and the branch will not execute, but for others it will return True and send the user to Login page, which is access denied.
Similarly, make the branch in B application condition for UAT2Group.
