Abstract
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus, which counts process amounts in the device for each user, in a system for processing print jobs within a range of access limitation information. The information processing apparatus specifies a user who requests access authority information for a job, and a job whose access authority information is issued to that user. The apparatus checks if a process of the job is completed. The apparatus determines a printable page count of the specified user using an output process amount value of the job issued by the user, when the specified job is complete. The apparatus notifies a managing apparatus, which issues access authority information, of the printable page.
