In functions.php you can do something like this, but I do not know if it will work, I’ve never tried it before.

add_action('init', 'user_specific_options_page');
function user_specific_options_page() {
  // check for ACF
  if (!function_exists('acf_add_options_page')) {
    return;
  }
  
  // get current user role
  // because I don't know a permission 
  //shared by all logged in users
  $role = 'subscriber';
  if (is_user_logged_in()) {
    $user wp_get_current_user();
    $roles = (array) $user->roles;
    $role = $role[0];
  }
  $args = array(
    'page_title' => 'My Options',
    'menu_title' => 'My Options',
    
    // allow the user to edit
    // I'm really not sure about this one
    // you may need to fiddle with this and
    // maybe the code getting the current user role
    'capability' => $role,
    
    // set it to save values for this user
    'post_id' => 'user_'.get_current_user_id(),
  );
  acf_add_options_page($args);
}
