Abstract

A device management system which makes it possible to promptly and easily change and reset device-related operation rights assigned to users. User's operation rights with respect to a device are set, and a system policy is set which is used to restrict the operation rights with respect to the device and is to be applied to a plurality of specific users. It is determined whether or not the system policy is to be applied. If it is determined that the system policy is to be applied, the user's operation rights with respect to the device are restricted based on the system policy irrespective of whether or not operation rights have been set.
