# Uncontrolled GPO Commands


The **Uncontrolled** tab:

-   Displays a list of Group Policy Objects (GPOs) not managed by Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM).

-   Provides a shortcut menu with commands for bringing uncontrolled GPOs under the management of AGPM and for displaying the history and reports for GPOs.

-   Displays a list of the groups and users who have permission to access a selected GPO.

Right-clicking the **Group Policy Objects** list on this tab displays a shortcut menu, including whichever of the following options are applicable.
