摘要

An imaging apparatus is provided that is capable of maintaining document security control even in a case where document ID information cannot be identified from a physical document that is subject to an imaging operation. The imaging apparatus includes a read unit for reading image data from a physical document in response to an imaging request from a user, a user information acquisition unit for acquiring user information including a security attribute of the user, a document information acquisition unit for acquiring document information including a security attribute of the physical document, an operating condition selection unit for determining whether to authorize outputting of the image data read from the physical document based on the user information and the document information by referring to a predetermined rule, and a log management unit for storing the image data in association with the user information without allowing the image data to be output when the document information is not acquired at the document information acquisition unit.
