Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a user interface and a controller configured to control the user interface to display a screen including one or more display target objects among a plurality of objects including one or more objects each associated with user authentication information of a corresponding user. The controller is configured to accept user authentication information input via the user interface, and set a user mode to an authenticated user mode for an authenticated user, and to control the user interface to display, on the screen, the one or more display target objects including shared objects and authenticated user objects, but not including unauthenticated user objects. Each shared object is associated with no user authentication information, the authenticated user object is associated with the accepted user authentication information, and the unauthenticated user object is associated with different user authentication information from the accepted user authentication information.
