Oracle Apex Custom User Accounts

So I am brand new to Oracle Apex. I am wondering how I can make it so my app does not require any authorization to view the app, but you need to have an account to do certain things. Is there a way that I can authenticate these users based on whether or not they have an "account" in my database? I have a form set up as a "create account" method which inserts account data into my database. How can I go about using this database to let users "sign in"?

Welcome to the community.

Each page has the ability to be marked as 'Public', as opposed to 'Page requires authentication'

It's probably worth reading up on the authentication options - they can be based on APEX users, DB accounts, or a number of other authentication methods. https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/application-express/20.2/htmdb/configuring-security-attributes.html#GUID-FDB41857-C144-4AB0-A85C-A33A26259A47

You can then use 'Authorisation' to determine what authenticated users can specifically do.

Try installing one of the sample applications, engage with it, then have a look to see how certain things are accomplished.

This post from Doug is also a great summary of options https://blogs.oracle.com/apex/custom-authentication-and-authorization-using-built-in-apex-access-control-a-how-to
