Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a multiuser function. The apparatus includes a manager and controller. The manager is configured to provide an environment for restricting a process executable by the apparatus. The controller is configured to detect a request to execute the process, and to transmit contents related to the request to the manager prior to the execution of the process. The manager is configured to transmit a determination result to the controller based on a policy applied to each user and indicative of permission or prohibition of the execution of the process.
Claims11
An electronic apparatus comprising a multiuser function, the apparatus comprising:
- a manager configured to provide an environment for restricting a process executable by the apparatus;
- and
- a controller configured to detect a request to execute the process, and to transmit contents related to the request to the manager prior to the execution of the process,
- wherein the manager is configured to transmit a determination result to the controller based on a policy applied to each user and indicative of permission or prohibition of the execution of the process.
A control method for restricting a process executable in an electronic apparatus comprising a multiuser function, the method comprising:
- detecting a request to execute a process;
- determining a response to the request indicative of permission or prohibition of the execution of the process based on a policy applied for each user;
- and
- executing the process when the response indicates permission for the execution of the process.
A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a computer program which is executable by a computer which comprises a multiuser function, the computer program controlling the computer to function as:
- a manager configured to provide an environment for restricting a process executable by the computer;
- and
- a controller configured to detect a request to execute the process, and to transmit contents related to the request to the manager prior to the execution of the process,
- wherein the manager is configured to transmit a determination result of the request to the controller based on a policy applied for each user, indicative of permission or prohibition of the execution of the process.
