Then, the process proceeds to the next step S 126 .
  • step S 122 to step S 126 via step S 123 is the processing as described below. That is, when the number of users permitted to execute the selected function is only one, the user is automatically selected as a user to execute the selected function, without prompting reselection from a list of logged-in users, even if the number of the logged-in user is two or more.
  • step S 126 the user session management 3010 determines whether or not the execution user determined by the above procedure is the same as the current execution user. If the execution user is the same, the process immediately proceeds to step S 129 , where the application 3012 executes the selected function. If the execution user is not the same, the user session management 3010 changes the user profile to that of the determined execution user in step S 127 , and further changes the user authority to that of the determined execution user in step S 128 . Then, in step S 129 , the selected function is executed.
  • the login user display area 9005 is provided so that it is displayed which of logged-in users a predetermined function is executed by. Thereby, it is possible for the user to easily determine which user's user profile, among those of the logged-in users, an operation for executing a function is performed on the basis of.
  • the basic configuration of the second embodiment is similar to that described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 in the above first embodiment. A characteristic part of the second embodiment will be described below.
  • FIG. 10 is a timing chart showing user session management according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the user session management of this embodiment is executed by the CPU 2001 of the image processing apparatus 1004 as the function of the user session management 3010 and the access management 3011 .
  • Reference numerals 5001 to 5003 in FIG. 10 indicate the same as indicated by reference numerals 4001 to 4003 in FIG. 16 .
  • FIG. 11 is a tabular form diagram showing settings for the user profiles and user authorities of users A and B used in FIG. 10 .
  • user type information 8001 indicting the type (classification) of user is registered as a user profile, as is distinct from the example in FIG. 17 used in the first embodiment.
  • the user types include, for example, an anonymous user and a real-name user.
  • the anonymous user is a special user used by an unspecified large number of persons.
  • the anonymous user does not have user identification elements, such as username information about the name of the user and a mail address.
  • the real-name user is a user who has such user identification elements.
  • a menu screen ( FIG. 12 ) is displayed on the operation section 2012 .
  • a login user display area 9015 is arranged at the lower part of a main menu 9010 , and it is displayed that a function is being executed by the anonymous user at this time point. Since the anonymous user is permitted to execute the color copying function in setting information in FIG. 11 , he can execute a color copying function 9011 . It should be noted that login as the anonymous user may be automatically performed when the image processing apparatus 1004 is activated.
  • the screen returns to the main menu 9010 .
  • the access management 3011 checks the user authority of the anonymous user to determine whether or not the anonymous user is permitted to execute network management function. Since the anonymous user is prohibited to execute the network management function in the setting information in FIG. 11 , the access management 3011 notifies the user session management 3010 to that effect. In response to this, the user session management 3010 displays a login screen 9070 ( FIG. 13 ) requesting authentication of an authorized user.
  • the user session management 3010 changes the user profile 5001 to that of the user B as indicated by reference numeral 5021 in FIG. 10 , and changes the user authority 5002 so that all of the items, each of which has been permitted to either of the anonymous user and the user B, are changed to be “permitted” as indicated by reference numeral 5022 in FIG. 10 .
  • it is displayed in the login user display area 9015 that the function is being executed by the user B.
  • the screen returns to the main menu 9010 .
  • the access management 3011 checks the user authorities of the the currently logged-in users regarding to determine whether or not either of the users are permitted to execute the color copying function. Since the currently logged-in user is permitted to execute color copying in the user authority indicated by reference numeral 5022 in FIG. 10 , he can execute the color copying function without the need for displaying the login screen 9070 again. Furthermore, it is displayed in the login user display area 9015 that the function is being executed by the user B, without any change being made in the login user display area 9015 .
  • the screen returns to the main menu 9010 .
  • the access management 3011 checks the user authorities of the currently logged-in users to determine whether or not either of the users are permitted to execute the fax function. Since the currently logged-in user is not permitted to execute the fax function in the user authority indicated by reference numeral 5022 in FIG. 10 , it is notified to the user session management 3010 . In responses to this, the user session management 3010 displays an error screen 9080 ( FIG. 14 ) notifying that it is not possible to change the user. This is because, in the second embodiment, further authentication is prohibited when login as the real-name user has been performed. The user profile 5001 and the user authority 5002 are never changed.
  • the error screen 9080 ( FIG. 14 ) notifying that it is impossible to change the user is displayed similarly.
  • FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a procedure for the processing according to the second embodiment.
  • This processing is processing for determining whether or not to cause authentication to be performed again depending on the user type of a logged-in user when authority lacks, and it is executed by the CPU 2001 of the image processing apparatus 1004 as the function of the user session management 3010 and the access management 3011 .
  • step S 131 the access management 3011 determines whether or not the logged-in user is permitted to execute the selected function, in step S 132 . If it is determined that the user is permitted to execute the selected function, the process proceeds to step S 141 , where the application 3012 executes the selected function. On the other hand, if it is determined that the user is not permitted to execute the selected function, the user session management 3010 determines whether or not the logged-in user is an anonymous user, in step S 133 . If it is determined that the user is not an anonymous user, the process proceeds to step S 134 , where the error screen 9080 ( FIG. 14 ) is displayed.
  • step S 135 the login screen 9070 ( FIG. 13 ) is displayed.
  • step S 136 input of authentication information is received from the user. It is determined in step S 137 whether or not the received authentication information is correct. If it is not correct, the process returns to the processing of step S 135 .
  • the access management 3011 determines whether or not a newly logged-in real-name user is permitted to execute the selected function on the basis of the received authentication information in step S 138 . If the real-name user is not permitted to execute the selected function, the process returns to step S 135 .
  • the user session management 3010 overwrites the user profile with that of the newly logged-in user, in step S 139 . Then, the user authority information is merged in step S 140 , and the selected function is executed in step S 141 .
