god mode

Unbeatable player state

God mode is a video game setting or cheat that makes the player invulnerable—unable to be killed or damaged.

The term extends to any state of seemingly unlimited power or capability: After three espressos I was in god mode.

In software, it can mean an administrative state with unrestricted access to all settings and functions.
