1. A controller apparatus connected to a storage apparatus that stores electronic data, the controller apparatus comprising:
- a network interface configured to obtain first authentication information of the at least one of the plurality of users from an information processing apparatus through a network; and
a processor configured to;
obtain second authentication information of the at least one of the plurality of users using association data indicating an association between first authentication information and second authentication information for each of the plurality of users, the second authentication information being associated with the obtained first authentication information of the at least one of the plurality of users;
obtain electronic data associated with the second authentication information of the at least one of the plurality of users using the electronic data stored in the storage apparatus;
determine a data format of the obtained electronic data, the determined data format of the obtained electronic data being compatible with the information processing apparatus; and
control a process of converting the obtained electronic data to cause the obtained electronic data to have the determined data format.
