Abstract
An information processing system includes an image forming part and an operation part attachable to and detachable from the image forming part. The information processing system includes: a first detection unit configured to detect whether a state where a function of the image forming part is usable via the operation part is established; a second detection unit configured to detect whether the operation part has been detached from the image forming part; and a restriction control unit configured to perform control to restrict a predetermined function of the operation part when, while the first detection unit has detected that the state where the function of the image forming part is usable via the operation part is not established, the second detection unit has detected that the operation part has been detached from the image forming part.
