Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory is configured to store first authority information, the first authority information including information for specifying a hardware resource, the first authority information being used for determining whether or not to permit operation of the hardware resource. The processor is coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to perform accepting a request for transmitting the first authority information to a destination apparatus, determining, in response to the request, whether second authority information is set or not, the second authority information being used for making a copy feasibility determination of the first authority information, transmitting the first authority information to the destination apparatus together with the second authority information when the second authority information is set and deleting the second authority information set in the transmitted first authority information.
