Information processing apparatus and method for job setting within or outside range of use authority of users

摘要

In an information processing apparatus, if a setting content of a preset second setting item of a plurality of setting items included in pre-registration information selected by a selection portion is outside a range of use authority, a change portion changes the setting content of the second setting item to a content within the range of the use authority. In addition, a sequential display portion sequentially displays a setting screen for setting the setting content of the second setting item, in accordance with a setting operation on the setting screen. Furthermore, a second display control portion displays an authentication screen if the setting content of the second setting item is set on the setting screen so as to be outside the range of the use authority.
