Abstract
A print control server includes a detector that detects a print instruction or a setting instruction entered by the user in the chat system provided by the SNS, a print controller that executes printing using a printer in accordance with the print instruction or configures a setting relating to the printer in accordance with the setting instruction, and a manager that associates identification information of the user with a privilege of the user in the chat system and stores the identification information and the privilege of the user. The print controller references the information stored by the manager to identify the privilege associated with the identification information of the user who has entered the print instruction or the setting instruction, and limits, based on the identified privilege, the printing to be executed in accordance with the print instruction or the setting to be configured in accordance with the setting instruction.
