Brian said this much better than I did. You need the AuthUser recipe, which presumably you will need anyway if you want people to login.  Then in the page 
Site.Sidebar  (or whatever page you use for the sidebar:

(:if authid:)
* [[Page.Target1 | Label1 ]] 
* [[Page.Target2 | Label2 ]] 
(:else:)
* Label1
* Label2
(:ifend:)

but you will need AuthUser recipe loaded.

---------------------------------------

You may also want to add a login link in the space between Label2 and (:ifend:)
This is a piece of my Site.Sidebar, with some clarification added.
* [[Main/HomePage]]
* [[Main/WikiSandbox]]
----
(:if authid :)
*[[Page1 | First page ]]
*[[Page2 | Highly Secret Page ]]
(:else:)
* First Page
* Highly Secret Page
----

%sidehead% [[PmWiki.DocumentationIndex | Wiki Documentation]]
* [[PMWiki/QuickEdit | Quick Edit Reference]]
* [[PmWiki/Basic Editing]]
* [[PmWiki/Text Formatting (Rules)]]
* [[PmWiki/DocumentationIndex | Document. Index]]
(:ifend:)
%right% [-[[Site.SideBar?action=edit | edit SideBar]]-]

%left% (:if auth admin:) [[{*$FullName}?action=logout | Logout ]]  (:if:)
