You being a third party nominee doesn't give them access your account or flights, only vice versa (as far as I'm aware)
Downsides are
Person can access the whole account including Avios, not just a single booking
Doesn't work if the person isn't a member of BAEC Other than that it's the best method I've found to avoid complications for seat selection. I use it fairly regularly for family bookings
