Cannot block inheritance of authorization matrix in folders

      Jenkins 2.13, latest plugins

      I use jenkins project-based matrix security.

      I have this folder structure (jenkins folders):

      • folder1/subfolder1A/jobA1
      • folder1/subfolder1A/jobA2
      • folder1/subfolder1B/jobB
      • folder2/subfolder2C/jobC
        I can't seem to find a way to give access to a particular user only to subfolder1A or to jobA2 etc.

      I tried almost every combination of permissions, the only one that works requires me to add the job readpermission to the user for the root folder1. The permission is inherited and they can now see everything in subfolder1A and subfolder1B etc.

      If i don't do that, they see nothing. But If I do that, they have access to all subfolders of folder1 and all their jobs (with read permissions).

      I guess a "Block inheritance" feature on folder jobs is needed. otherwise I can't assign read permissions granularly.

      please excuse me if I did anything wrong in this issue, it's my first issue here and I'm mostly used to github.
