Yes, they do have absolute dominion over the realities depicted in their work(s), but not over reality (a.k.a. real life) which is the one they exist in. I'm very picky when it comes to the words I use, so reread my first reply and notice I said that they don't have control over "reality," not "the reality depicted in their work," which means I was talking about real life.
Author Authority is the power to control the reality the user exists in like an author controls a work of fiction. Real people don't control reality, so they don't fit the capabilities and are not users.
I would never be as foolish as to claim that one doesn't control the elements found in their own work of fiction.
