Why each option
Control Groups (cgroups) are a Linux kernel feature for resource management, not for user authorization to the Docker API.
User authorization to the Docker API is a security concern typically handled by user authentication, permissions, and possibly TLS client certificates, not by resource management features like cgroups.
No. Control Groups (cgroups) are a Linux kernel feature used to limit, account for, and isolate resource usage (CPU, memory, disk I/O, network) for groups of processes. User authorization to the Docker API is handled by authentication mechanisms, not cgroups.
