Abstract
An information processing system includes a first apparatus, multiple second apparatuses, and a server. The first apparatus receives authentication information from a user and transmits the authentication information to the server. If the user has been authenticated in accordance with the authentication information, the server transmits, to the first apparatus, permission information that indicates two or more second apparatuses that the user is permitted to use from among the second apparatuses. The first apparatus stores the authentication information while transmitting the authentication information to the second apparatuses. If the authentication information indicates one of the second apparatuses, the one of the second apparatuses performs an operation related to use of the one of the second apparatuses.
