You have to manage restrictions with the tools that Jenkins provides. If you have administrator status go to "Jenkins configuration" (picture 1) and then to "Manage and assign roles" (picture 2). Here you will see "Manage roles" and "Assign roles".

1. Make sure the user account is created
2. Do not add that user to the global configuration security but do have project matrix enabled security enabled and authenticated users read access

3. Now go to the job and add that user and choose read.

4. You can now see that the user has only access to that specific job
