You cant installed programs are meant to be accessible by all users.

 

One way to restrict access would be setting up user groups for program access

Actually, false. However most package managers don't support user level applications.

You can setup a user application by just simply installing the software I to /home/$USER/.local/ and follow the normal root folder file hierarchy from there.

That said the simplest way to achieve what the OP wants to do is just use AppImages

If you need a desktop menu option just make a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications
