Abstract

An access authorizing apparatus includes a receiving unit, a first transmitting/receiving unit, a token issuer and a transmitting unit. A receiving unit receives first approval information indicating that access to the resource in the device has been approved by an access approver, from the first application via the network. A first transmitting/receiving unit transmits an access approval request including the first approval information to the access approving apparatus, and receives access enable/disable information indicating whether the access to the resource by the first application is permitted, from the access approving apparatus. A token issuer, when the access enable/disable information indicates that the access to the resource is permitted, issues token information that gives authority to access the resource to the first application. A transmitting unit transmits the token information issued by the token issuer, to the first application.
