An information processing apparatus includes a communication section, a control section, an operating section, a storage section. The control section sends identification information of a first user to an external apparatus connected through the communication section. The operating section allows the first user to request at least one function. The storage section stores approver authentication information of an approver previously registered. When the communication section fails to receive, from the external apparatus, information indicating what function the first user is permitted to request as a response to the identification information of the first user, the control section authenticates a second user based on the stored approver authentication information. The control section executes the function requested by the first user when an authentication result shows that the second user is the approver.
