An information processing apparatus transmits a job, share user information indicating users who are permitted to access a shared folder, and access permission information defining the users' user authority level to use data stored in the shared folder, which is set for the shared folder, collectively to an image processing apparatus. Receiving these information pieces, the image processing apparatus generates job access authority information defining the users' authority level to use the received job, based on the access permission information, and records the job, the share user information and the generated job access authority information in a memory, with their connections.
