Abstract
A communication system includes a server and a terminal device. In a memory of the server, first identification information is correlated to a plurality of sets of user information and a plurality of sets of restriction information. The first identification information identifies an image processing apparatus. Each of the plurality of sets of restriction information includes information for restricting settings of an image process available to a user specified by a corresponding set of user information. After receiving the target user information and identification information identifying the image processing apparatus, a server side controller acquires and transmits to the terminal device target restriction information. A terminal side controller receives the target restriction information from the server as a response to transmission of the target user information and the identification information; and outputting the target restriction information.
