You can go to Account Privileges and create a privilege set that does not allow users to certain layouts.

Take a look at the Get (LayoutAccess) function. It does exactly what you need.

Returns:

0 if the custom layout privileges of an account's privilege set allow no access to Records via this layout.

1 if the custom layout privileges of an account's privilege set allow view only access to Records via this layout.

2 if the custom layout privileges of an account's privilege set allow modifiable access to Records via this layout.

Have your script test for this and then branch accordingly.

Correct; however what is being asked is--once created--how do you test for the state or the access rights of the layout.
