Image forming apparatus and method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and image forming system

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• obtaining print data from a logical printer in a second system that is a cloud service system that performs second authentication, the print data including second identification information that is user identification information in the second system;
• obtaining first identification information by referring to relationship information between the first identification information and the second identification information using the second identification information included in the obtained print data, the first identification information being user identification information in a first system in a particular organization including an image forming apparatus that performs first authentication;
• controlling printing processing of the obtained print data using the obtained first identification information;
• obtaining, from a use authority memory device in the first system, use authority information indicating whether the user who has been authenticated by the first authentication using the first identification information has authority to use the image forming apparatus;
• generating restricted capability information by further restricting information on capability of the image forming apparatus in accordance with the user's obtained use authority information;
• and
• providing, to the user, a setting information inputting user interface corresponding to the generated restricted capability information,
• wherein identification information of the user, which is temporarily issued in the first system, is used as the first identification information.

An image forming system comprising:

• a management apparatus connected to a first system in a particular organization that performs first authentication;
• and
• one or more image forming apparatuses,
• wherein the management apparatus includes
• an accepting unit configured to accept an input of user setting information including (i) first identification information of a user to be registered, the first identification information being user identification information in the first system, (ii) second identification information that is user identification information in a second system that is a cloud service system that performs second authentication, and (iii) identification information of a logical printer in the cloud service system which performs the second authentication, the user being registered in the cloud service system,
• a generating unit configured to generate corresponding relationship information representing a corresponding relationship between the first identification information and the second identification information included in the user setting information,
• a user setting unit configured to set, in the logical printer, the second identification information included in the user setting information as identification information of a user capable of using the logical printer corresponding to the identification information of the logical printer included in the user setting information,
• wherein the one or more image forming apparatuses each include
• a print data obtaining unit configured to obtain print data including the second identification information from the logical printer, and
• a controller configured to obtain the first identification information by referring to the relationship information using the second identification information included in the obtained print data, and configured to control printing processing of the obtained print data using the obtained first identification information,
• a use authority obtaining unit configured to obtain, from a use authority memory device in the first system, use authority information indicating whether the user who has been authenticated by the first authentication using the first identification information has authority to use the one or more image forming apparatuses,
• a second generating unit configured to generate restricted capability information by further restricting information on capability of the one or more image forming apparatuses in accordance with the user's use authority information obtained by the use authority obtaining unit, and
• a providing unit configured to provide, to the user, a setting information inputting user interface corresponding to the generated restricted capability information,
• wherein identification information of the user, which is temporarily issued in the first system, is used as the first identification information.

An image forming method comprising:

• obtaining print data from a logical printer in a second system that is a cloud service system that performs second authentication, the print data including second identification information that is user identification information in the second system;
• obtaining first identification information by referring to relationship information between the first identification information and the second identification information using the second identification information included in the obtained print data, the first identification information being user identification information in a first system in a particular organization including an image forming apparatus that performs first authentication;
• controlling printing processing of the obtained print data using the obtained first identification information;
• obtaining, from a use authority memory device in the first system, use authority information indicating whether the user who has been authenticated by the first authentication using the first identification information has authority to use the image forming apparatus;
• generating restricted capability information by further restricting information on capability of the image forming apparatus in accordance with the user's obtained use authority information;
• and
• providing, to the user, a setting information inputting user interface corresponding to the generated restricted capability information,
• wherein identification information of the user, which is temporarily issued in the first system, is used as the first identification information.
