Kevlar is used for strength, but not the core.

I’m pretty confident it’s glass fibers, but I guess PVC could be a trick option since it’s used in other cables.

I feel like it could be Kevlar, but that seems more related to the protective layer than the core itself.

I'm leaning towards "Access groups" here. That sounds like it would be the component responsible for grouping users and assigning permissions at the group level.

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I'll need to carefully read the question and options to make sure I understand the requirements.
