Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an authenticating unit and a controller. The authenticating unit authenticates an operator. The controller performs control such that a setting item selected from plural setting items is not displayed for the operator authenticated by the authenticating unit. In the case where a set value for the setting item which is controlled by the controller so as not to be displayed is changed to a set value that is different from a set value registered for the authenticated operator, the controller performs control so as to display the setting item with the changed set value.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a user interface, an authentication unit, a controller, a restriction unit, and an authentication termination unit. The user interface accepts a first operation for setting a parameter from a user. The authentication unit authenticates the user. The controller controls the user interface to display the set parameter. The restriction unit restricts, in a case where a first condition is met after the user has been authenticated by the authentication unit, the user interface from accepting the first operation. The authentication termination unit terminates the authentication of the user in a case where a second condition is met while accepting of the first operation is being restricted by the restriction unit. The controller controls the user interface not to display the set parameter in a case where the second condition is met while accepting of the first operation is being restricted by the restriction unit.

Abstract: A water treatment method according to the present invention comprises adding an amphoteric polymer flocculant to polluted water to flocculate suspended solids so that the polluted water becomes treated water, and filtering the treated water. An inorganic flocculent can be added to the treated water after flocculation treatment before filtering the treated water.

Abstract: An authentication apparatus includes following components. In an authentication table, first authentication information, login information, and second authentication information are associated. A communication unit communicates with another apparatus. A first login processing unit compares identification information with the first authentication information, and rewrites the login information to a logged in state and notifies the other apparatus of successful authentication when the identification information matches the first authentication information. The logout processing unit compares identification information with the first authentication information, and rewrites the login information to a logged out state when the identification information matches the first authentication information.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an authentication unit, a communication unit, a function availability data obtaining unit, a usage authorization data obtaining unit, and a display controller. The authentication unit authenticates a user. The communication unit communicates with an external device connected thereto. The function availability data obtaining unit obtains, from a memory, function availability data that defines whether or not a function related to the external device is available. The usage authorization data obtaining unit obtains usage authorization data indicating whether or not the user is authorized to use the function. The display controller causes, when the external device is connected to the communication unit, a display to display a screen related to authentication of the user, an image related to the function, or an image for notifying the user that the function is unavailable, in accordance with the function availability data or the usage authorization data.
