Break inheritance permissions with SharePoint Designer
I am not sure if you want to break permissions inheritance for certain folers in document library or lists using SharePoint Designer.
If the library or list has some rules to break permission inhertance, you could use workflow.
However, if you manually break permissins in SharePoint Designer, I do not think that there is an option to manage permission for the folder in SharePoint Designer.

Hi Juan Carlos,
How are you?
Te cuento ;).
I have a workflow in a document library, this workflow started when an item created. If the element which created is a document set, them structure of folder created into this document set, but I need that three folder of this structure break inheritance permissions.
I use wokflow because in the beginning only the folder structure was created.
Thanks

So do you want to break inheritance using the SharePoint Designer workflow?
You could call a REST API from your SPD workflow:
