Abstract
A multi-function peripheral and an information processing apparatus are capable of communicating with each other. In one authentication setting of the information processing apparatus, functions restricted in use are disabled from being set. In another authentication setting of the information processing apparatus, when an operation on a function restricted in use is performed on a screen associated with functions of the multi-function peripheral, the information processing apparatus displays an authentication screen to cause the multi-function peripheral to execute an authentication process based on information input via the authentication screen, and if a result of the authentication process transmitted from the multi-function peripheral indicates that the authentication is successful, the screen is controlled to receive the operation on the function from the user.
