A Buyer that hasn't been given Buyers User Authorization in Define User Preferences > Purchase Order Authorizations for buyer login1, can dispatch a PO created by the buyer login1 from Dispatch PO page:

Purchasing > Purchase Orders > Dispatch POs


Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. On 9.2 DEMO environment, give to buyer login2 user authorization to work Purchase Orders only for buyers login3 and login4, in the following menu:

    Set Up Financials/Supply Chain > Common Definitions > User Preferences > Define User Preferences > Purchase Order Authorizations > Buyers User Authorization > Buyers User Authorized For

2. Log in with user login1 and create a Purchase Order with buyer login1. (login2 should not be able to work a PO created by login1 buyer).
