1. A printing apparatus, comprising:
a print engine;
a network interface;
a memory;
a user interface; and
a controller,
wherein, when multiple pieces of print data are accumulated in the memory, the controller is configured to perform accumulation printing including:
causing the user interface to display selectable items corresponding to the multiple pieces of print data accumulated in the memory;
receiving, through the user interface, an operation to select print data to be printed from among the multiple pieces of print data for which corresponding selectable items are displayed through the user interface; and
printing selected print data,
wherein each piece of print data is based on a print job that is received through the network interface and set with user identification information indicating the user, the user identification information indicating:
a user identified in the print job when the print data is based on the print job that identifies the user,
wherein the printing apparatus is configured to be set to operate in a first authentication mode,
wherein the first authentication mode is a mode in which the printing apparatus is capable of receiving a login operation through the user interface, and in which the printing apparatus determines a function to be allowed for a logged-in user based on authority information representing authority of the logged-in user which is stored in the memory in advance, the logged-in user being a user logged-in to the printing apparatus in the login operation to use, from among functions, the functions equipped to the printing apparatus,
wherein the selectable items include selectable indications of print jobs,
wherein, when the first authentication mode is set and a first user, whose authority information is registered in the memory, is the logged-in user, the controller is configured to cause, in the accumulation printing, the user interface to:
display selectable indications of print jobs for the print data, among the print data accumulated in the memory, to which first user identification information and the authentication information are set, the first user identification information indicating the first user; and
not display the selectable indications of print jobs for the print data, among the print data accumulated in the memory, to which the first user identification information is not set,
wherein, when the printing apparatus is set to operate in the first authentication mode and the first user is the logged-in user, the controller is configured, in the accumulation printing, not to display selectable items for the print data, among the print data accumulated in the memory, to which second user identification information indicating a second user whose authority information is stored in the memory is set, the second user being different from the first user,
wherein, when the printing apparatus is set to operate in the first authentication mode and the first user is the logged-in user, the controller is configured to cause the user interface, in the accumulation printing, not to display selectable items for the print data, among the print data accumulated in the memory, to which third user identification information indicating a third user whose authority information is not stored in the memory and the authentication information are set.
