Please check this article I have written for same

In component Model you can write a check or you can write a filter as well, if you have more than one component.

try {
   boolean decoration=false;
   User currentUser = request.getResourceResolver().adaptTo(User.class);
   
   if(currentUser.isAdmin())
    return;
   
   Iterator<Group> currentUserGroups = currentUser.memberOf();

   while (currentUserGroups.hasNext()) {
    Group grp = (Group) currentUserGroups.next();
    if(grp.getID().equals(GROUP)) {
     decoration =true;
     return;
    }
   }

   ComponentContext cc = WCMUtils.getComponentContext(request);
   cc.setDecorate(decoration);
  } catch (Exception e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
   logger.info(e.getMessage());
  }

This can be done by just removing permissions of that component for those particular users, you can do groups segregation and add users on those groups ,which has permission to access those components.
