Abstract: An information processing apparatus managed by an administrator and used by plural users includes a reception unit and a request unit. The reception unit receives a disclosure request from the administrator related to secret information in a job processed by the information processing apparatus. The request unit requests a disclosure of the secret information with respect to a user of a target job that is a target of the disclosure request.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a unit that sets personal setting information on a first user in a present setting on the information processing apparatus, the present setting related to personal setting information that is information determined for and used by each user, a unit that determines whether a second user is about to use the information processing apparatus during a time period throughout which the personal setting information on the first user is set in the present setting on the information processing apparatus, and a unit that removes at least part of the personal setting information on the first user from the present setting in response to a determination indicating that the second user is about to use the information processing apparatus during the time period.

Abstract: An image processing system includes a processor configured to present all functions provided by plural image processing apparatuses connected to one another on a network, the plural image processing apparatuses providing different functions and receive, as shared setting information, settings of functions to be used by all the plural image processing apparatuses among all the functions presented.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to obtain, from a certain user identified from input authentication information for authenticating the certain user, a request to share personal setting information regarding a personal setting of another user and permit the certain user to share the other user's personal setting information in accordance with permission information indicating the other user's permission.

Abstract: A process for restoring deactivated catalysts containing zeolite with a noble metal of Group VIII of the Periodic Table and to be used in the production of aromatic compounds, wherein decoking of the deactivated catalysts is carried out in the presence of halogen or a halogen-containing compound. This restoration process permits effective restoration of deactivated catalysts and thus is expected to be employed in the fields of petroleum purification, petrochemistry and so forth.
