Abstract
Setting information is transferred to an information processing apparatus from another information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a transfer unit, a rule unit, an acquiring unit, and an updating unit. The transfer unit sets transfer instruction information to instruct a transfer process to be performed, when the user logs in and while an administrator is logged in. The rule unit sets up an operating environment for the user based on rule setting information in a case when the user logs into the information processing apparatus for the first time. The acquisition unit acquires setting information of the user from a transfer file where the setting information acquired from the other information processing apparatus as a transfer source is stored while the user is logged in, where the transfer instruction information has been set. The updating unit updates the rule setting information with the acquired setting information.
