An image forming apparatus capable of flexibly controlling whether or not to perform user authentication when a user performs operations related to functions of the apparatus. When a user instructs the apparatus to perform any of operations related to a secure print job which is a print job executed by using a secure print function, when the apparatus is operated in a function-based authentication mode, it is determined whether or not a user-selected function of a plurality of functions including at least a secure printing function for printing data in response to an input,of a password requires user authentication. When the secure printing function is specified as the user-selected function and it is determined that the userselected function does not require user authentication, the user is allowed to use the secure printing function, even if the user is not authenticated. |
