Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: a first acquisition unit acquiring input information from an outside for starting execution of an image processing function; a determination unit determining whether a specific apparatus connected through a network is logged in based on specific identification information corresponding to the input information; a first request unit requesting input of authentication information from the outside; and a function control unit controlling execution of the image processing function. When it is determined that the specific apparatus is not logged in, the first request unit requests the input of the authentication information from the outside. When it is determined that the specific apparatus is logged in, the function control unit permits the execution of the image processing function without the first request unit requesting the input of the authentication information from the outside.
