Yeah, definitely. You can, also, manage the users yourself. Just create a single account. Then, use that account to add users. Currently, GCE allows this. Then, just inject your own keys and have them access the server. -- It's hard to be free... but I love to struggle. Love isn't asked for; it's just given. Respect isn't asked for; it's earned!
