Even if he had already purchased a revenue ticket, he could have every intention to cancel that revenue ticket (e.g. if he notices that there seem to be lots of empty spots).
Are we sure that OP is supposed to have access to the employee nonrev site? My impression is that the employee is supposed to use the website (where there would be employee rules regarding legitimate use of the information) to help the nonrev buddy make informed decisions about what flights to try to get on, etc. I'm not convinced that the employee is supposed to share log in or other access information with friends who might want to fly nonrev as guests of the employee.
