Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-function apparatus not permitting a log-out operation of a user according to the contents and state of an incomplete job. SOLUTION: The multi-function apparatus includes: an authentication information acquiring unit which uses an authentication information inputting unit to acquire authentication information on a user desiring to use the functions; a use restriction unit which determines whether the user desiring to use the functions has use authority on the basis of the acquired authentication information, and permits using the functions on condition of determining that the user has the use authority; and a log-out control unit which determines whether a log-out process is acceptable based upon the contents and state of the incomplete job when detecting the log-out operation of the user, and maintains the functions so as to be used by prohibiting a log-out process when detecting that an incomplete job in a log-out disabled state is left.
