Restrict access to new document folder in Sharepoint?

[Mark M]

We run a very simple document library on SharePoint, its used for word, Excel and a few other documents stored in client subfolders. All works great.

I need to set up a "management" folder that only certain staff can have access to. Could anyone suggest what is the best way to do this please? I remember seeing a post somewhere that said you should set up a whole new SharePoint for "management" or "accounts" etc and add the staff to each but seems overkill possibly?

Many thanks, Mark

By "Library" do you mean SharePoint site?

I'd have thought the easiest way to add a Management Folder would be to add an additional Document Library within the existing site and then change the permissions on that Document Library to only add those who need it.

Yes that's correct, we have an existing SharePoint site with a document library called "Documents" ‍

I've just set up a new document library on the existing SharePoint but I cant see any settings to add or restrict access?
