You find the MAC based access under "Access Control":

If you want to combine it with PSK, you can use "iPSK with RADIUS". Here you have to return a "Tunnel-Password":

For the MAC-based access control, that @KarstenI referenced, note the point below, in his screenshot:   you need a RADIUS server, which holds the database of MAC addresses and which the access points query, when the clients associate to that SSID.   You can't do such MAC auth just using the Dashboard.

It is possible to whitelist clients in the Dashboard, but this is rather different than (just) authenticating them.  Have a very careful read of all of this and any relevant linked documents if you want to go further down that path:   https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Blocking_and_Allowing...
