Access permission control for inline vf pages on page layout

I have two inline VF Pages on a page layout.My requirement is that i want to control the visibilty or access to those inline VF pages on the basisi of a set of users.
Means,only a set of users should see one inline VF page and others should see only the second one and not the first one.
Can anyone please suggest any solution

1. Create two vf pages and add them to the page layout. Create two profile each having access to each vf. Assign your two sets of user to each of this profile. You may use permission set in place of profile depending on your requirement. 
It will work as per your requirement. User will see a message in place of the vf that he does not have permission to view it.
2. Create One vf page and generate different content based on profile of current user.

In each of the vf page put eveything in outputPanel and render output panel according to user profiles.
For example if you want to show first vf page to Sales user profile user do this.
............
apex:outputPanel id="thePanel" rendered="{!$Profile.Name == 'Sales User'}">
............
now if you want to show second vf page to Marketing User profile user do this.

............
apex:outputPanel id="thePanel" rendered="{!$Profile.Name == 'Marketing User'}">

you can use pageblocksection instead output panel... try it.
