There are many use cases where web applications have a user (B2B or B2C) app and a separate “back office” app that is only accessible to system admins.  
Both these apps would need to access the same set of tables.  
Is it possible to do this using Glide tables?

Yes. You can duplicate your app, keeping the same data source, or you can add existing tables to a new app.
