An image forming apparatus management system in an example has an information communication terminal that transmits a print request for image data, an image forming apparatus that receives the print request transmitted from the information communication terminal, and a management server having a storage unit for storing a management database in which the information communication terminal and permitted image forming apparatuses for setting image forming apparatuses allowed to print the image data corresponding to the print request transmitted from the information communication terminal are registered in association with each other and a control unit for determining, on the basis of the management database stored by the storage unit, whether printing of the image data transmitted from the information communication terminal by the image forming apparatus should be permitted.
