To allow access by limited users via ssh you should edit your sshd_config on
the server.
You want to set a default of allowing no-one access with:
DenyUsers all

then define each user on a line each with:
AllowUsers user1

Obviously, restart your sshd after editing.

You other method will allow users 1,2 and 3, but also anyone else with a valid
username-password and shell.
