Abstract
A control apparatus includes a storage unit, a reception unit, and a restriction unit. The storage unit stores, for each of categories of processes classified in accordance with a condition related to a timing of a process, whether or not it is possible for each user to use processes that belong to the category. The reception unit receives an instruction for a process. The restriction unit specifies a category to which the process indicated in the instruction received by the reception unit belongs. In a case where use of processes that belong to the specified category is not permitted for a user that provided the instruction in the storage unit, the restriction unit restricts execution of the process according to the instruction.
