They have complete, absolute power and unquestionable authority over all things in creation and beyond, they are literally God, the strongest and most powerful being in all of existence.
As an archetype, the Supreme Being represents the ultimate in power and dominance in the universe shown in most cases as a compassionate and benevolent being/entity/spirit who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere, also often the creator of the universe/s and everything in it/them since the Supreme Being in question is believed by followers to be the driving force behind all of existence.
