The most likely answer is to set things up so that only users who belong
to a certain group can log in using ssh.
Maybe the ssh server supports this directly. If not, then I believe that
SSH executes a set of "pam" modules after authenticating a user (see
/etc/pam.d/ssh). Pam (pluggable authentication modules) is very
flexible, so I suspect if you read up on pam you'll find an option to
reject logins for users who are not in a particular group or similar.
