Abstract
An image processing apparatus capable of reducing the frequency of a user's inputting work for authentication information to improve the convenience. When the number of the logged-in users is one, the logged-in user is set as an executor of the predetermined function, and when the number of the logged-in users is two or more, the user is caused to select one of the logged-in users to set the selected one as the executor of the predetermined function.
Claims17
An image processing apparatus having a plurality of functions including a first function which is executable without a user authentication and a second function which is executable after the user authentication, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory, wherein the least one processor performs:
- displaying an operation screen including a first soft key for executing the first function and a second soft key for executing the second function.
A method for controlling an image processing apparatus having a plurality of functions including a first function which is executable without a user authentication and a second function which is executable after the user authentication, the method comprising:
- displaying an operation screen including a first soft key for executing the first function and a second soft key for executing the second function.
An image processing apparatus having a plurality of functions,
- the image processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory, wherein the least one processor performs:
- setting a user authority for each of the plurality of functions;
- receiving a user operation for selecting a function among the plurality of functions;
- permitting a user to use a first function selected by the user operation, in a case the user is not logged in with user specific login information and is permitted to use the first function;
- displaying a login screen to input login information in a state the user is not logged in with user specific login information and is not permitted to use the second function selected by the user operation;
- permitting a first user, corresponding to first specific login information input to the login screen, to use the second function, in a case the first user is permitted to use the second function, and
- prohibiting the first user, corresponding to the first specific login information input to the login screen, to use the first function, in a case the first user is not permitted to use the first function,
- wherein it is possible to set a predetermined function among the plurality of functions to permit the user to use the predetermined function in a state the user is not logged in with the user specific login information and not to permit the user to use the predetermined function in a state the user is logged in with the user specific login information.
The image processing apparatus according to claim 14, the image processing apparatus further comprising a touch panel display,
- wherein the processor further performs:
- displaying the operation screen on the touch panel display.
A method for an image processing apparatus having a plurality of functions,
- the method comprising:
- setting a user authority for each of the plurality of functions;
- receiving a user operation for selecting a function among the plurality of functions;
- permitting a user to use a first function selected by the user operation, in a case the user is not logged in with user specific login information and is permitted to use the first function;
- displaying a login screen to input login information in a state the user is not logged in with user specific login information and is not permitted to use the second function selected by the user operation;
- permitting a first user, corresponding to first specific login information input to the login screen, to use the second function, in a case the first user is permitted to use the second function, and
- prohibiting the first user, corresponding to the first specific login information input to the login screen, to use the first function, in a case the first user is not permitted to use the first function,
- wherein it is possible to set a predetermined function among the plurality of functions to permit the user to use the predetermined function in a state the user is not logged in with the user specific login information and not to permit the user to use the predetermined function in a state the user is logged in with the user specific login information.
