      When creating a subfolder, it inherits permissions from the parent. Our use case for optionally disabling inheritance: we want to have a root folder named "dev-team" and under that "dev-team/prod". We'd like the prod subfolder to be restricted to a subset of the the dev-team group who will have rights to deploy to production. Currently this is not possible using folder-auth-plugin. Everyone who can access the "dev-team" folder can also access "dev-team/prod".

          brendanh Hi! You can achieve what you want by providing only the read permission to the root "dev-team" folder. You can then set permissions independently the prod subfolder. Other projects in /dev-team can be moved to another folder which can get other permissions. Please let me know if this answers your question.
