Need to prevent user roles to see/Search Dashboard folder and it's content

Hi Friends,

We have a Dashboard folder in our org that is already shared with a user and three roles. This main folder has 3-4 sub folders who also have same setting. But it seems there are other user roles who cna access and search sub folders and it's content in Salesforce though it was not shared with them.
can anyone suggest how I can prevent/restrict them to access main folder>Sub Folders>It's content  in Salesforce.

I checked the Dashboard folder access and it is not shared with those suer roles.

Thanks in Advance!!

HI Vivek,
As pointed in https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.rd_folders_share_enhanced.htm&type=5 , point 2

From the Share With dropdown, select who you want to share with.

Are you able to select roles to which you want to grant access?

Thanks

Thanks Swetha for reply , I need to restrcit it from other roles to access it. It was shared with correct set of user and roles.
But not sure why users who are not in same roles and in different roles still search/access it.

Looks like there is no ability to control sharing at the sub-folder level.

See related idea: https://ideas.salesforce.com/s/idea/a0B8W00000GdastUAB/control-report-and-dashboard-sharing-at-subfolder-level
