There are several methods in Google Cloud. The second method is the recommended method based upon the requirements in your question.

  1. If the users have defined public IP addresses, use Google Cloud VPC firewall rules to only allow access from approved IP addresses.
  2. Do not assign a static public IP address to the instance. Add an HTTP(S) Load Balancer and enable IAP. Add each user's identity to IAP for identity-based access control.

Additional methods suitable for developers:
