## Considered Options
Option 1: Users that don't meet the requirement of having a prior approved application will not be able to submit any new applications. We add a page alert informing the user that they cannot submit their application because they have an application in one of these "3" statuses (Submitted, In Review or Action Needed). They would still be able to create and edit new applications, just not submit them. The benefits of this option are that it would allow users to have multiple applications essentially in "draft mode" that are queued up and ready for submission after they are permitted to submit (after approval of 1 application).
**Option 1:** Users will not be able to submit any new applications if they have 0 prior approved applications OR prior registered .gov domains.

Option 2: Users that don't meet the requirement of having a prior approved application will not be able to submit any new applications. Additionally, we would remove the ability to edit any application with the started/withdrawn/rejected status, or start a new application. The benefit of this option is that a user would not be able to begin an action (submitting an application) that they are not allowed to complete.

## Decision
We have decided to go with option 1. New users of the registrar will need to have at least one approved application OR prior registered .gov domain in order to submit another application. We would like to allow users be able to work on applications, even if they are unable to submit them.
