Hello,

If you have create several user group (here, customer account) then you can use your Shipping method **ACL settings**, see my screenshot :
[ ![alt](https://i.ibb.co/7JGGbVY/image.png) ](https://i.ibb.co/7JGGbVY/image.png "alt")

The point, is of course to **restrict** the access to this free shipping method for your required user group.
Hope this will help you.

Regards
