Simply put each user's share in a separate file named smb.USERNAME.conf (with USERNAME changed for each user) and then remove the share from the main smb.conf, Then put a line like:- include = smb.%U.conf and that will (I think) give you different shares listed per user. More info on the smb.conf(5) man page. I know this works for %L (meaning that users see a different list of shares depending on which NetBIOS name they use to connect to the server.

Define each share in a file such as smb.{username}.conf and "include =
smb.%U.conf" in your master smb.conf. The share will only exist for the
matching user. You can do the same by machine name or primary group.
