I need to create a db_link but limit access to that db_link
to specific users. Can somebody provide me with some guidance
on the best way to create the link and provide access.

I reckon best practice is to create a public link with the connect string, and have your users create private links with their own login details (which you don't have to know). That way you control the network, and they are responsible for their own security. Like this:

conn system/manager
create public database link l1 using '127.0.0.1:1521/orcl';
connect scott/****;
create database link l1 connect to scott identified by ****;
