Reproducing the Issue

Cause

You have Unrestricted Read/Write access to (New)Library workcenter view, that is why you are able to access the folder ABC.

Unrestricted access precedes all the other restricted access even at folder level.

Resolution

If you want to restrict access of a folder to few users, you will have to Restrict Read/Write access using Restriction Rule 99- Define Specific Restrictions where you maintain users for whom want to provide access at business role level. Further at folder level add only employees to whom access is required.

In the Employees tab of folders, employees without access grant will have access only to view, with grant access they can act as administrator of folder.
