Information processing apparatus, information processing system and computer readable medium

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a user information storage unit that causes a user information storage unit to store user information indicating users in association with at least one of information management apparatuses;
• an authorized user information acceptance unit that accepts authorized user information indicating an authorized user as a user permitted to execute a predetermined process on target information (i) which has been stored in one of the information management apparatuses and (ii) which is a target to be subjected to the predetermined process;
• a first instruction unit that issues an first instruction for storing a duplicate of the target information in an information management apparatus associated with the user information indicating the authorized user, when the authorized user is not included in users shown by user information associated with the information management apparatus storing therein the target information;
• and
• a second instruction unit that issues a second instruction to the information management apparatus storing therein the duplicate of the target information to perform setting so that when the information management apparatus accepts a request for executing the predetermined process on the duplicate of the target information from the authorized user, the information management apparatus can execute the predetermined process on the duplicate of the target information.

An information processing system comprising:

• an information processing apparatus;
• a first information management apparatus;
• and
• a second information management apparatus, wherein:
• the first information management apparatus includes:
• a target information storage unit that stores target information as a target to be subjected to a predetermined process in the second information management apparatus;
• and
• a duplicate output unit that outputs a duplicate of the target information,
• the second information management apparatus includes:
• a duplicate acceptance unit that accepts the duplicate of the target information;
• a duplicate storage unit that stores the duplicate of the target information accepted by the duplicate acceptance unit;
• and
• a process execution unit that executes the predetermined process on the duplicate of the target information stored in the duplicate storage unit, and
• the information processing apparatus includes:
• a user information storage unit that stores user information indicating users in association with at least one of the first and second information management apparatuses;
• an authorized user information acceptance unit that accepts authorized user information indicating an authorized user as a user permitted to execute the predetermined process on the target information;
• a first instruction unit that issues an first instruction for storing a duplicate of the target information in the second information management apparatus, when the authorized user is not included in users shown by user information associated with the first information management apparatus storing therein the target information;
• and
• a second instruction unit that issues a second instruction to the second information management apparatus to perform setting so that when the second information management apparatus accepts a request for executing the predetermined process on the duplicate of the target information from the authorized user, the second information management apparatus can execute the predetermined process on the duplicate of the target information.
