complete control

Absolute power over

Complete control is total authority over something, with no limits or competing influences.

The phrase emphasizes absoluteness—not partial control, not shared control, but unrestricted dominion: She has complete control over the company's finances.

In relationships or politics, having complete control often carries negative connotations of domination: He demanded complete control over every decision.
