Abstract
A content management apparatus as an embodiment of the present invention associates content information on content with group information on a user participation group in a posting management service that approves control for the content, and stores the associated information. The apparatus then acquires group information on the user participation group from the posting management service, upon receipt of a content control request. The apparatus determines whether or not the requested control is to be approved, based on the acquired group information and the group information stored in association with the content information on the content. This configuration allows the content management apparatus for managing the content to control access authorization according to setting of the group in the posting management service.
