1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a processing management system that manages processing executed by an electronic apparatus, and an electronic apparatus constituting the processing management system, a management server constituting the processing management system, and a processing management method of the electronic apparatus.

JP-A-2005-335215 describes an image processing apparatus (an example of the electronic apparatus) in which a login is required before various processing such as print processing is executed. The management tool for such an image processing apparatus causes accounts to correlate to permission processing corresponding to processing permitted to be used in the image processing apparatus in order for the correlated account and processing to be managed.
For example, the permission processing correlating to a first account is assumed to be only print processing and copy processing, and the permission processing correlating to a second account is assumed to be facsimile processing in addition to print processing and copy processing. In this condition, in a case where the first account is used to perform login to the image processing apparatus, print processing and copy processing are permitted to be executed but facsimile processing is prohibited from being executed in the image processing apparatus.
For this reason, in a case where as such, execution of the facsimile processing is requested by a user in the image processing apparatus to which a login is finished using the first account, the image processing apparatus automatically comes into a logoff state to prompt the user to perform another login using the second account. Further, when the second account is used to perform the login to the image processing apparatus, the image processing apparatus permits execution of the facsimile processing.
However, in the image processing apparatus described above, the accounts which can be managed are limited in number due to a memory capacity. For this reason, in a case where the number of users who are likely to use the image processing apparatus are large, due to a memory capacity limitation, it is difficult to set an account for each user and permit permission processing for each account.
