Abstract
A client-server system is provided in which access to a service by a user can properly be controlled, even if an approval by another user is required for receiving the service. First, the server 2 executes a log-in processing by using a user identifier and password transmitted from the client terminal 2, and a user control file 202. Next, the server 2 executes a service control by using a service supply request transmitted from the client terminal 1 and a service control file 42 provided with the server. When the server determines that an approval by another user is required for providing the service, the server executes the approval request to the client terminal 1 that the concerned user uses. When the reply to the approval request is affirmative, the server executes the processing in accordance with the foregoing service supply request. When the reply is negative, the server informs to the user who made the foregoing service supply request that the approval is rejected.
