Extremely difficult, and in many cases quite unnecessary. No, you let them on the network, and then make sure that won't hurt you more than you're prepared to accept. For instance, someone could join my wifi network - all they need is the WPA2 PSK, which is well known around the place - and use/abuse our internet connection; but they couldn't access my PostgreSQL databases, because the firewall doesn't permit access to port 5432.
