I am working on Sitecore Item Web Api, I have a mulitisite solution and I want to give access of Sitecore Item web api to specific Site as per sitecore user.

For example, I have a demo site and have specific user for this site:

uname - test
pass - test123

My requirement is this user only can access given site via api not others Is it possible and how?

I am using http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sdn5/modules/sitecore%20item%20web%20api/sitecore_item_web_api_developer_guide_sc66-71-a4.pdf document and on page 13 it shows some extra fields for security "Field Remote Read" but in normal solution it's not showing any field like this

If you cannot see the field from the column list like @nsgocev stated, make sure that "Sitecore.ItemWebApi.config" is present in your include folder and enabled. This config adds the remote:fieldread field to the access rights/security editor.

<accessRights>
  <rights>
    <add name="remote:fieldread" comment="Field Read right for remoted clients." title="Field Remote Read"/>
  </rights>
  ...
</accessRights>

Also make sure you set the correct mode to take this field into account (as stated in the documentation) to set up the API correctly.

<site name="website">
    <patch:attribute name="itemwebapi.mode">AdvancedSecurity</patch:attribute>
    <patch:attribute name="itemwebapi.access">ReadOnly</patch:attribute>
    <patch:attribute name="itemwebapi.allowanonymousaccess">false</patch:attribute>
</site>

To display the Field Read Remote column you should enable it from the columns options from the ribbon:

Columns Option

And check the checkbox there:
