Authority is more along the lines of Lordship, while this is more about having connections to those in authority.

Also if you read the last line of the capabilities it makes it very clear, as the user may not be in charge or rule anything, they simply influence the higher powers to get what they request.

Authority on the other hand is always about having dominion or ruling over something.

You can think of it as the basis for how Meta Summoning might possibly work.
