ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus authorizing the use thereof by carrying out user authentication prevents fraudulent use of the processor and/or a data leak due to a user's forgetting invalidation of authentication or other reason. When a user is authenticated, whether the user is authorized to use a DMFP is determined by comparing the user's input information with the information of an access-authorized person stored in the DMFP. When both information matches, a range of functions available for the user are specified, and the user is authenticated. Subsequently, for example, operation of copy setting is carried out in making setting on the DMFP. When the setting operation is over, whether authentication on the user is invalidated is determined to execute processes of copy setting, etc. In response to a trigger of invalidation of authentication on the user, the processes of copy setting, etc., are started.
