Restrict folder creation in the documents root folder for a contributor or editor
Hello rwaldron
looks like your editors and contributers have too much permession on library level, you can check this in your library > gear > library settings > more library settings > permissions for this document library. Set the permissons for editors and contributurs also to read on this level, after that, they can't create folders on higher-level or into your 2023 folder. (except they are admins 😉 )
After that, it's correct, you can stop the permission inheriting on every level/folder and give your own permissions.

untick "Share everything in this folder,even items with unique permissions"
select permission level - READ.
Is this correct ?
rwaldron Yes. Because you broke the permissions inheritance from site level to library level, you have to grant permissions on library every time you add new group at SharePoint site level (if you want to allow accessing library for this group).
The settings you mentioned in your above response like "READ" permissions, etc. are correct.
