Image forming apparatus that receives operation settings for job execution from multiple operation units, and control method and storage medium therefor

摘要

An image forming apparatus capable of executing functions thereof corresponding to operation setting requests in the order of receptions of the requests, while taking into account of the presence/absence of conflict between the operation setting requests, even when receiving a plurality of operation setting requests from an operation unit of the image forming apparatus and/or an external operation unit such as a portable terminal. When operation setting requests are respectively received from the operation unit of the image forming apparatus and the portable terminal, it is determined whether there is a conflict between resources used by the image forming apparatus to execute jobs and whether a user who operates the operation unit and a user who operates the portable terminal are the same as each other. Only the operation setting request permitted based on results of the determinations is received.
