Not sure if im in the right section
and have not seen any anything in the search. but

is there anyway I can lok certain users from access to USB devices.

I have an external HDD for my imac.
but i dont want other users to be able to access it.

Short of hiding the power cord or USB cable I dont know how i can lock them out.
Is there anyway i can do this with os X?

Yeah, you can disable access to drives through permissions. It works just like permissions for individual files.

I am new to mac.
where do I go to change permissions

Click the icon of the file you want to work on and go to File, then select Get Info. Then click the permissions triangle.

I noticed i must be very careful as certain things cannot be undone
