How do I lock/restrict a Comment in the new JIRA UI?

Question

In the former version (which I've just been switching back to) I was able to lock permission to view comments so long as the board had updated security settings.

With the new UI I haven't been able to find a way to lock the comment so only specific groups can see them.

New UI is not finalized yet @Lauren Donnelly, hopefully Atlassian will keep that feature available.

Let me see if there is a ticket open to vote on it

It is already enabled.

This is not a configuration issue. I am able to lock comments using the old UI. It is only an issue when using the new UI.
