Abstract:
An import unit of an image forming apparatus performs control as follows. If an import target setting value corresponds to a device setting, the import unit determines whether the setting value complies with the security rule. If it is determined that the setting value complies with the security rule, the import unit executes the import processing of the setting value. If it is determined that the setting value does not comply with the security rule, the import unit does not execute the import processing of the setting value. Further, if an import target setting value corresponds to an individual setting, the import unit executes the import processing of the setting value regardless of the security rule.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the image forming apparatus to perform operations comprising:\n managing a security rule; \n receiving a setting value to be a target of import processing; \n determining whether the setting value to be the target of the import processing is a device setting value; \n determining whether the setting value to be the target of the import processing satisfies the security rule; \n executing importing of the device setting value in a case where it is determined that the setting value is the device setting value and it is determined that the setting value satisfies the security rule; \n determining whether the device setting value is automatically changeable so that the device setting value satisfies the security rule in a case where it is determined that the setting value is the device setting value and it is determined that the setting value does not satisfy the security rule; and \n automatically changing the device setting value so that the setting value satisfies the security rule in a case where it is determined that the device setting value is automatically changeable so that the device setting value satisfies the security rule, \n wherein the device setting value is not imported in a case where it is determined that the device setting value is not automatically changeable so that the device setting value satisfies the security rule.
