CONTROLLED type DAOs operate a bit differently than the other DAO types, because CONTROLLED DAOs grant special privilege's to the person who created the DAO.
With a CONROLLED DAO:
Everyone in the Swarm can vote and has equal voting power. However, The Swarm Creator must decide who can create proposals in a Controlled DAO.
The Swarm Creator can add/remove members at anytime without a proposal.
In a Controlled type DAO, the person who creates the DAO (The Swarm Creator) is ultimately always in control of how the DAO operates.
Whenever a Controlled DAO is created, the Swarm Creator is granted special permissions they can use to manage the DAO- These special features are not available from other DAO types.
The Swarm Creator can access their special permissions and actions from the "Voters" tab of the Swarm:
With a CONTROLLED type DAO, if a member is able to create proposals, the "Can Propose" column of the Swarm Members Table is set to True. If the member cannot create proposals, then the "Can Propose" column is set to False.
Note how the "Actions" section of the "Voters" menu is populated with several special actions for the Swarm Creator to perform - These actions won't appear on other member's screens of the Swarm
Special Features available to the Swarm Creator of a Controlled DAO:
The Swarm Creator can Add / Remove members from the Swarm at anytime without creating a proposal.
The Swarm Creator must grant permission to other members in order for them to create proposals at the Swarm. Once a member is granted permission to create proposals, the member can create proposals indefinitely until permissions are removed again by the Swarm Creator.
It's important to note the Swarm Creator cannot stop proposals from execution- Once a proposal has been created, it has been created and the rest of the Swarm has the ability to vote over the outcome until it expires.
