Are the users PC's connected to an internal network or across the internet?

Solution 1

write a method in your WCF service to authorise him/her, return boolen, call the service on Login button and check for the authorization flag from service response.

Solution 2

You don't control user access to a computrer with a wcf service. That's the operating system's job. Either put the user into an appropriate group (probably the best way) and control it that way, or prevent the person from logging on in the first place.
