ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus includes a document information storage unit that stores a derivation relationship designating a first document as a parent and a second document generated after an operation as a child, and an operator that performed the operation; an organization information storage unit that stores a structure of an organization hierarchy and members belonging to each of organizations; and a document output permission/prohibition determination unit that, upon receiving a document output request, determines whether or not to permit output of the requested document, by checking an operator of the requested document or an operator of a document corresponding to an ancestor of the requested document in a tree structure of the derivation relationships against members belonging to an organization including a requesting person as a member or an organization being located at a higher level than the organization including the requesting person in the organization hierarchy.
