Abstract
A system accurately performs function restriction on a user-by-user basis, even in the case of an image processing function that is realizable with use of a plurality of apparatuses. To accomplish this, the image processing system includes a user restriction information management apparatus that has function restriction information and an image processing apparatus that has related restriction information. The image processing apparatus performs a user-designated function based on restriction content of the function restriction information and the related restriction information. There are cases where a restriction function, which is a function that is restricted by the function restriction information, can be realized by combining a plurality of other functions that are different from the restriction function, and related restriction information refers to information for restricting the usage of such other functions.
