1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
a job executer that executes a job pertaining to image processing;
a storage capable of storing history information pertaining to the execution of the job by associating the history information with an executing user of the job;
a display capable of displaying the history information;
a recognizer that recognizes the executing user;
an authenticator that authenticates the executing user via an authentication screen; and
a controller, wherein
when a plurality of executing users, including the executing user, is present near the image processing apparatus and when the recognizer recognizes the plurality of executing users as operating users who operate the image processing apparatus, before the executing user is authenticated, the controller displays the history information associated with the operating users on the display instead of transitioning to the authentication screen for each of the plurality of executing users,
when an accuracy of identifying an operating user is less than a threshold accuracy, the controller excludes history information pertaining to a transmission/storage job type from the history information of the operating user to be displayed, and
when the operating user who operates the image processing apparatus is identified with an accuracy higher than the threshold accuracy, the controller displays the history information of the operating user without limitations.
