# Client Change Requests

Client Change Requests provide a controlled way to delete the registered clients. All changes require approval before they take effect.

## Change Types

### Set Client to Be Deleted

Marks a client for deletion. This changes the client state to **ToBeDeleted**.

- The client is not immediately deleted; it is marked for deletion
- A separate delete action can permanently remove clients in ToBeDeleted state

> **Warning**
> Deleting a client is irreversible. Ensure the client is no longer needed before proceeding.


## Approval Flow

1. **Create** - User creates a change request and submits it for approval
2. **Review** - An approver reviews the requested changes
3. **Approve/Reject** - The approver can approve or reject the request
4. **Applied** - Approved changes are automatically applied to the client
