Abstract
We give a complete and irredundant list of the finite groups for which Aut, acting naturally on , has precisely orbits. There are 7 infinite families: one abelian, one non-nilpotent, three families of non-abelian -groups and two families of non-abelian -groups with odd. The non-abelian -group examples were first classified by Bors and Glasby in 2020 and non-abelian -group examples with odd were classified independently by Li and Zhu, and by the author, in March 2024.
