# State diagram

The Marketplace Platform provides three distinct user interfaces, namely the Client Portal, Vendor Portal, and Operations Portal. This topic describes how the account object transitions through different lifecycle states within the platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
The diagrams show different transitions depending on whether the account is a Client/Partner or a Vendor, but the underlying statuses are the same.
{% endhint %}

### Client account

The following diagram shows how a client/partner account moves between states through operations like enable, activate, and disable.
