wherein when the user is authenticated by the processor, the processor disables at least one or all of functions usable by the user until the restriction information is received from the management apparatus.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein when the user is authenticated by the processor, the processor disables at least one or all of functions of the information processing apparatus against the user until the restriction information is received from the management apparatus.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the access-right information is restriction-related information used when another apparatus is to be accessed via the network different from the dedicated network.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein when the user is authenticated by the processor, the processor disables at least one or all of functions usable by the user until the restriction information is received from the management apparatus.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein when the user is authenticated by the processor, the processor disables at least one or all of functions of the information processing apparatus against the user until the restriction information is received from the management apparatus.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein when the user is authenticated by the processor, the processor disables at least one or all of functions usable by the user until the restriction information is received from the management apparatus.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein when the user is authenticated by the processor, the processor disables at least one or all of functions of the information processing apparatus against the user until the restriction information is received from the management apparatus.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein when the user is authenticated by the processor, the processor disables at least one or all of functions usable by the user until the restriction information is received from the management apparatus.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein when the user is authenticated by the processor, the processor disables at least one or all of functions of the information processing apparatus against the user until the restriction information is received from the management apparatus.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein when the user is authenticated by the processor, the processor disables at least one or all of functions against the user until the restriction information is received from the management apparatus, the functions being used when another apparatus is to be accessed via the network different from the dedicated network.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor transmits apparatus identification information of the information processing apparatus to the management apparatus together with the user identification information of the user authenticated by the processor, and

wherein the processor receives, from the management apparatus, the restriction information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user identification information and the transmitted apparatus identification information.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor transmits, to the management apparatus, network identification information of the network different from the dedicated network together with the user identification information of the user authenticated by the processor it, and

wherein the processor receives, from the management apparatus, the restriction information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user identification information and the transmitted network identification information.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where communication with the authenticated user is interrupted for a predetermined time or longer or a distance to the authenticated user reaches a predetermined distance or longer, the processor deletes the restriction information received from the management apparatus.

17. An information processing system comprising:

a management apparatus that stores user identification information of a user and restriction information in correspondence with each other, the restriction information restricting a range of a function usable by the user; and

an information processing apparatus including a hardware processor programmed to:

authenticate the user,

transmit the user identification information of the user authenticated by the processor to the management apparatus via a dedicated network used for exchanging the user identification information and the restriction information,

receive the restriction information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user identification information from the management apparatus via the dedicated network, and

control the range of the function usable by the user based on the restriction information received by the processor, wherein

the dedicated network is connected only to the information processing apparatus and the management apparatus,

the dedicated network is a wireless communication line connectable to the management apparatus without a network setting, and

the wireless communication line is based on a wide-area wireless communication network in which data is exchanged at a communication speed lower than a communication speed in a network different from the dedicated network.

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

authenticating a user;

transmitting user identification information of the authenticated user to a management apparatus via a dedicated network used for exchanging the user identification information and restriction information;

receiving the restriction information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user identification information from the management apparatus via the dedicated network; and

controlling a range of a function usable by the user based on the received restriction information, wherein

the dedicated network is connected only to the computer and the management apparatus,

the dedicated network is a wireless communication line connectable to the management apparatus without a network setting, and

the wireless communication line is based on a wide-area wireless communication network in which data is exchanged at a communication speed lower than a communication speed in a network different from the dedicated network.
