Printing control apparatus that reduces time and effort in security management for printing, printing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium

A printing apparatus that is configured to communicate with a storage that stores a plurality of print data with different degrees of confidentiality in different storage locations according to the degrees of confidentiality, the printing apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory that stores a set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the instructions, the instructions, when being executed, causing the printing apparatus to:
• receive a printing instruction;
• obtain installation location information that indicates an installation location of the printing apparatus;
• obtain storage location information that indicates a storage location of print data designated in the printing instruction;
• determine whether or not printing of the designated print data is allowed, based on the storage location information and the installation location information;
• and
• when it is determined that printing of the designated print data is allowed, obtain the designated print data from the storage and print the obtained print data.
