Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a memory; and a processor configured to cause information indicating that a first user who has an authority to operate an apparatus is prohibited from operating the apparatus to be displayed on an operation screen of the first user in a case where the first user has commissioned a second user to operate the apparatus but attempts to operate the apparatus by himself or herself.

Claims (29)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor configured to cause information indicating that a first user who has an authority to operate an apparatus is prohibited from operating the apparatus to be displayed on an operation screen of the first user in a case where the first user has commissioned a second user to operate the apparatus but attempts to operate the apparatus by himself or herself, wherein:

the commissioning by the first user to the second user includes a request to the second user to perform an operation of the apparatus instead of the first user, and the operation is a setting process performed by using a stored setting information of the apparatus,

the first user is prohibited from operating the apparatus in immediate response to the first user commissioning the second user, and until the operation is completed, and

when the operation is completed, an ID of the second user is deleted from the apparatus and the second user is not able to access the apparatus.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor causes information indicating that the first user is prohibited from operating the apparatus because the second user has been commissioned to operate the apparatus to be displayed on the operation screen of the first user in a case where the first user attempts to operate the apparatus.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the memory registers therein information on an operator and a commissioned operator in association with each apparatus; and

the processor causes the information indicating that the first user is prohibited from operating the apparatus to be displayed on the operation screen of the first user in a case where information on a commissioned operator is registered in association the apparatus which the first user attempts to operate.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor causes information indicating that the first user is prohibited from operating the apparatus because the second user is operating the apparatus to be displayed on the operation screen of the first user in a case where the first user attempts to operate the apparatus.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor causes the information indicating that the first user is prohibited from operating the apparatus because the second user is operating the apparatus to be displayed on the operation screen of the first user in a case where there is a history of an operation of the second user within a preset period from the attempt of the first user to operate the apparatus.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor causes the information indicating that the first user is prohibited from operating the apparatus to be displayed on the operation screen of the first user in a case where the first user attempts to store data into the apparatus.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the processor causes the information indicating that the first user is prohibited from operating the apparatus to be displayed on the operation screen of the first user in a case where the first user attempts to restore setting information of the apparatus from stored setting information.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising causing information indicating that a first user who has an authority to operate an apparatus is prohibited from operating the apparatus to be displayed on an operation screen of the first user in a case where the first user has commissioned a second user to operate the apparatus but attempts to operate the apparatus by himself or herself, wherein:

the commissioning by the first user to the second user includes a request to the second user to perform an operation of the apparatus instead of the first user, and the operation is a setting process performed by using a stored setting information of the apparatus,

the first user is prohibited from operating the apparatus in immediate response to the first user commissioning the second user, and until the operation is completed, and

when the operation is completed, an ID of the second user is deleted from the apparatus and the second user is not able to access the apparatus.

9. An information processing apparatus comprising:

memory means; and

processing means for causing information indicating that a first user who has an authority to operate an apparatus is prohibited from operating the apparatus to be displayed on an operation screen of the first user in a case where the first user has commissioned a second user to operate the apparatus but attempts to operate the apparatus by himself or herself, wherein:

the commissioning by the first user to the second user includes a request to the second user to perform an operation of the apparatus instead of the first user, and the operation is a setting process performed by using a stored setting information of the apparatus,

the first user is prohibited from operating the apparatus in immediate response to the first user commissioning the second user, and until the operation is completed, and

when the operation is completed, an ID of the second user is deleted from the apparatus and the second user is not able to access the apparatus.
