Abstract
An MFP (Multi-Functional Peripheral) includes a display device with a touch panel for displaying a variety of information. A plurality of screens including a base screen and a pop-up screen overlapping one another are displayed on the touch panel. The MFP accepts operation on any one of the screens and identifies the user who performs the accepted operation. If the identified user does not have operation authority over the pop-up screen, the MFP does not specify the pop-up screen as a screen serving as a target of the operation but specifies the base screen as a screen serving as a target of the operation.
