Can NEP be a requester on requisition

While reviewing 26B notes, i read somewhere that non worker (NEP) can be a preparer but "Nonworkers can't be assigned as requesters on a requisition. They always create requisitions on behalf of others."

So, then we assigned the requester role to NEP and he was able to create requisition. Now, i want to understand that as per release notes NEP cannot be a requester but if we assign him the requester role then he can create requisition in oracle. Is that the correct understanding.
