$ man sshd_config
...
AllowUsers
             This keyword can be followed by a list of user name
             patterns, separated by spaces.  If specified, login is
             allowed only for user names that match one of the pat-
             terns.  '*' and '?' can be used as wildcards in the
             patterns.  Only user names are valid; a numerical user
             ID is not recognized.  By default, login is allowed
             for all users.  If the pattern takes the form
             USER@HOST then USER and HOST are separately checked,
             restricting logins to particular users from particular
             hosts.
