Information processing apparatus, information processing method, information processing system, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium

An information processing system including an information processing terminal for managing credentials to be used for a user to use a cloud service and a service providing server for providing the cloud service, wherein

• the information processing terminal includes
• at least one memory and at least one processor which function as:
• an obtaining unit configured to obtain biometric information of a user;
• a management unit configured to manage permission to read data stored in a predetermined storage unit and used for the user to use a cloud service, through first authentication processing for authenticating the user based on user input;
• and
• a reading unit configured to read the permitted data from the predetermined storage unit,
• the management unit permits reading of data from the predetermined storage unit without performing the first authentication processing if the biometric information satisfies a predetermined condition, and
• the service providing server performs authentication processing and authorization processing based on the credentials sent by the information processing terminal, and provides the cloud service to the information processing terminal if the authentication processing and the authorization processing are successful.

An information processing method comprising:

• obtaining biometric information of a user;
• managing permission to read data stored in a predetermined storage unit and used for the user to use a cloud service, through first authentication processing for authenticating the user based on user input;
• and
• reading the permitted data from the predetermined storage unit, wherein
• the managing includes permitting reading of data from the predetermined storage unit without performing the first authentication processing if the biometric information satisfies a predetermined condition.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform an information processing method comprising:

• obtaining biometric information of a user;
• managing permission to read data stored in a predetermined storage unit and used for the user to use a cloud service, through first authentication processing for authenticating the user based on user input;
• and
• reading the permitted data from the predetermined storage unit, wherein
• the managing includes permitting reading of data from the predetermined storage unit without performing the first authentication processing if the biometric information satisfies a predetermined condition.
