Abstract
An information processing apparatus which stores a table in which a destination group and a user having a browsing right to browse the destination group are associated with each other refers to the table based on user information, and displays a list of destination groups for which the user has the browsing right. The apparatus accepts, from the user, selection of a destination group from the displayed list, and displays destinations included in the selected destination group.
Claims6
An information processing apparatus for displaying a list of destination groups obtained by grouping destinations, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store a table in which a destination group and a user having a browsing right to browse the destination group are associated with each other;
- and
- a CPU coupled to the memory,
- wherein the CPU is programmed to provide:
- an authentication unit configured to authenticate a user of the information processing apparatus;
- a list display unit configured to refer to the table, to determine, based on user information, at least one destination group for which the user, who has been authenticated by the authentication unit and to whom the user information corresponds, has the browsing right, and to display the determined at least one destination group;
- an acceptance unit configured to accept, from the user, a selection of a destination group from the determined at least one destination group displayed by the list display unit;
- and
- a destination display unit configured to display at least one destination included in the destination group selected by the user.
A display control method for an information processing apparatus, which displays a list of destination group obtained by grouping destinations, the method comprising steps of:
- storing a table in which a destination groups and a user having a browsing right to browse the destination group are associated with each other;
- authenticating a user of the information processing apparatus;
- determining, based on user information and with reference to the stored table, at least one destination group for which the user, who has been authenticated in the authenticating step and to whom the user information corresponds, has the browsing right;
- listing the at least one destination group determined in the determining step;
- accepting, from the user, a selection of a destination group from the at least one destination group listed in the listing step;
- and
- displaying at least one destination included in the destination group selected by the user.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that when executed causes a computer CPU to perform a display control method of an information processing apparatus, the method comprising steps of:
- accessing a stored table in which a destination group and a user having a browsing right to browse the destination group are associated with each other;
- authenticating a user of the information processing apparatus;
- determining, based on user information and with reference to the stored table, at least one destination group for which the user, who has been authenticated in the authenticating step and to whom the user information corresponds, has the browsing right;
- listing the at least one destination group determined in the determining step;
- accepting, from the user, a selection of a destination group from the at least one destination group listed in the listing step;
- and
- displaying at least one destination included in the destination group selected by the user.
