A restriction information generation apparatus configured to generate access restriction information to be transmitted from a client terminal to a printing apparatus to determine whether to permit/inhibit execution of a print job based on the access restriction information containing functional restriction information of the printing apparatus, comprises an acquisition unit, adapted to acquire, from a restriction information management server, functional restriction information directly assigned to a user specified by user information received from a requesting client terminal, and indirectly assigned functional restriction information; a merge unit, adapted to merge the pieces of functional restriction information acquired by the acquisition unit to generate access restriction information; and a transmission unit, adapted to transmit the access restriction information generated by the merge unit to the client terminal.
