# Client Approval System - Summary

## ✅ All Changes Complete

### What Was Changed

1. **Navigation Simplified**
   - Removed "Pending Approvals" submenu from sidebar
   - Clients page now uses a single link (like before)

2. **Client List Page Enhanced**
   - Added yellow "Pending Approvals" button for admins
   - Located next to "Add New Client" button
   - Only visible to admin users

3. **Database Migration**
   - Migration file: `users/migrations/0023_customuser_approval_reason_customuser_approved_at_and_more.py`
   - Adds 6 new fields to track approval/rejection actions

### How It Works Now

**For Admins:**
1. Navigate to **Clients** from sidebar
2. Click **"Pending Approvals"** button (yellow button)
3. Review and approve/reject clients

**Client Flow:**
- New registrations → `pending_approval` status
- Admin approves → `active` status
- Admin rejects → `inactive` status
