Okay, its not possible through Share itlseld, but you can set pemissions on folder to specific users through the repository button in Share!
Its a bit strange, that you have different permission management in share and in the repository (accessed trough share)

We have similar requirement. We need to disable access right for some folders for certain users who are member of an alfresco share's site… We need custom link in doc library( it is possible). Any experts comments will be more helpful..

Further to this discussion,

Following is the set of permission for a "test" node. "test" node is part of a "test" site.

I got this information from permission service API.. permissionService.getAllSetPermissions(nodeRef)

ALLOWED SiteManager - GROUP_site_test_SiteManager (GROUP), ALLOWED SiteContributor - GROUP_site_test_SiteContributor (GROUP), ALLOWED ReadPermissions - GROUP_EVERYONE (EVERYONE), ALLOWED SiteConsumer - GROUP_site_test_SiteConsumer (GROUP), ALLOWED SiteCollaborator - GROUP_site_test_SiteCollaborator (GROUP)]‍

GROUP_site_test_SiteConsumer -> in this, I have a sample user named as "user1"
then I try to use
permissionService.clearPermission(nodeRef, "user1");

I expect this code of mine override the existing Authority.. Though user1 is a member of GROUP_site_test_SiteConsumer , i jus dont want him to access node.

Will this be possible, Since I explicitly cleared permission of user1 in a node? "will an explictly call of clearPermission method override the previously set permission?
