Not at all. In fact, the evidence suggests that LT wasn't capable of manipulating a complete IG to any degree while it was in the possession of another. If he could have done so, the possibility of a reality-busting battle with Warlock wouldn't have even been an option; nor would he have pleaded with Warlock to disassemble the IG willingly -- LT would have just shut it down, with or without Warlock's consent. No, the overt implication is that LT could only assert any sort of 'control' over the IG after the user either handed it over to him willingly, OR after he wrested control of it from the user forcefully... Ergo this scene: (please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)(please log in to view the image)
Anywho, at the end of 'Infinity War' LT *did* decree that the gems could never again be used in unison under any circumstances... But then they were used in unison, time and time again(by Rune, Reed, Tony, Cap, etc.) So I'll let you be the judge of how 'ultimate' LT's authority really was there. /shrug

I thought it was quite sad when the Living Tribunal caused the sun to go supernova in an attempt to kill Korvac; and when it didn't work he made a run for it.
Why would Living Tribunal object to Eternity getting the gauntlet, if the gauntlet wasn't more powerful then the Tribunal?
He would have said "sure, whatever, take the thing" otherwise. Or at least denied Warlocks claim.
And btw, this scene really showcases what a joke Eternity is, and Marvel writing of abstracts in general. They're even more petty then Greek and Roman gods. Like squabbling children.
It says a lot when the supreme protector of creation trusts a mortal to guard absolute power more then one of his fellow cosmic beings.
