How do you make a billboard GUI visible to only specific people?

I was wondering how to make this script visible to only people/group that I set it to. I've worked on this for like 3 hours now and can't figure it out.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerRespawned)
function onPlayerRespawned(newPlayer)
    wait(1)
    if newPlayer.Name == "AthenaPerson" then
        gui=Instance.new("BillboardGui")
        gui.Parent=newPlayer.Character.Head
        gui.Adornee=newPlayer.Character.Head
        gui.Size=UDim2.new(2,0,2,0)
        gui.StudsOffset=Vector3.new(0,1,0)
        gui.AlwaysOnTop=true
        label=Instance.new("ImageLabel")
        label.Image="rbxassetid://819434834"
        label.Size=UDim2.new(0,100,0,100)
        label.Size=UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
        label.Position=UDim2.new(0,0,-0.5,0)
        label.BackgroundTransparency = 1
        label.Parent=gui
end

    end


function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)
    newPlayer.Changed:connect(function (property)
        if (property == "Character") then
            onPlayerRespawned(newPlayer)
        end
    end)
end

local players = game:GetService('Players')
local group_id = 1 -- Group id

-- Pre-made so the script doesn't have to keep doing it. 
local gui = Instance.new("BillboardGui")
    gui.Size = UDim2.new(2,0,2,0)
    gui.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0,1,0)
    gui.AlwaysOnTop = true
local label = Instance.new("ImageLabel")
    label.Image = "rbxassetid://819434834"
    label.Size = UDim2.new(0,100,0,100)
    label.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,1,0)
    label.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,-0.5,0)
    label.BackgroundTransparency = 1
    label.Parent = gui



-- Names here in a dictionary style table. 
local players_allowed = {
    player2 = true;
    player1 = true;
    ['spaced name'] = true; 

}

local function player_joined(player)
    player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
        if player:IsInGroup(group_id) or players_allowed[player.Name:lower()] then 
            local gui_clone = gui:Clone()
            local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
            -- This is the key part.
                -- Parent it to the PlayerGui, so that it's only visible to that player
                -- Adornee it to their head. 
            gui_clone.Parent = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
            -- Setting the Adornee RIGHT after it's parented seems to fail after re-loading?
                -- Delay to fix.  
            delay(.1, function()
                gui_clone.Adornee = head
            end)

        end
    end)
end

players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    player_joined(player)
end)

for i,v in pairs(players:GetPlayers()) do 
    player_joined(v)
end

You can do game.Players.LocalPlayer. Then if the player's name is specifically "Name" then make the GUI Visible. Now what i suggest you doing is to create the GUI first and make sure the GUI is invisible. Then do this code;

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local GUI = --Where this billboardgui is and specifically the object, (Textlabel, TextButton, etc.)

if player.Name == "Name" then
    GUI.Visible = true
end

Make sure this is a localscript in StarterPlayerScripts

This will make it visible to the LocalPlayer. Therefore no one else can see it.
