Information processing apparatus, control method of information processing apparatus, and storage medium

A control method for an image forming apparatus configured to control printing of a print job by a printing unit based on information about a user who has logged in, the control method comprising:

• registering, as user information about a user who can log into the image forming apparatus, a user name for identifying the user and, instead of registering the user name, the control method is capable of including registering a display name displayed;
• performing authentication based on an input password and the user name;
• displaying a selection screen regarding login processing, wherein the selection screen includes at least a first software key and a second software key, wherein, in a case where the display name has been registered, the display name is displayed as a name of the first software key and, in a case where the display name has not been registered, the user name is displayed as the name of the first software key, and wherein the second software key is configured to display an authentication screen for allowing the user to input the password and the user name;
• executing, when the first software key is selected or when and is granted, login processing through which a user corresponding to the first software key can log into the image forming apparatus or a user corresponding to the input user name can log into the image forming apparatus;
• and restricting registration of the display name so that identical names are not displayed on a list of user information, wherein, in a case where a display name corresponding to the already registered user name has been already set, restricting, includes allowing registration of a display name identical with a user name that has been already registered, and wherein, when the login processing is performed, displaying includes displaying a screen for instructing image formation including printing to be performed.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to perform a control method for an image forming apparatus configured to control printing of a print job by a printing unit based on information about a user who has logged in, the control method comprising:

• registering, as user information about a user who can log into the image forming apparatus, a user name for identifying the user and, instead of registering the user name, the control method is capable of including registering a display name displayed;
• performing authentication based on an input password and the user name;
• displaying a selection screen regarding login processing, wherein the selection screen includes at least a first software key and a second software key, wherein, in a case where the display name has been registered, the display name is displayed as a name of the first software key and, in a case where the display name has not been registered, the user name is displayed as the name of the first software key, and wherein the second software key is configured to display an authentication screen for allowing the user to input the password and the user name;
• executing, when the first software key is selected or when authentication is granted, login processing through which a user corresponding to the first software key can log into the image forming apparatus or a user corresponding to the input user name can log into the image forming apparatus;
• and restricting registration of the display name so that identical names are not displayed on a list of user information, wherein, in a case where a display name corresponding to the already registered user name has been already set, restricting includes allowing registration of a display name identical with a user name that has been already registered, and wherein, when the login processing is performed, displaying includes displaying a screen for instructing image formation including printing be performed.
