Who came up with the term

[Alan Karp]

Principle of Least Authority.

Can you point to something, e.g., a document or talk, that identifies its first use?

That's Principle of Least Privilege.  I'm looking for who coined the term Principle of Least Authority.

Possibly this paper, which contrasts Saltzer and Schroeder’s notion of POLS to POLA: http://www.erights.org/talks/asian03/paradigm-revised.pdf

Yes, I am rather confident The Ode was our first published use of the term.

Paradigm Regained

http://www.erights.org/talks/asian03/paradigm-revised.pdf

is where I first introduced the distinction between permission and authority, so my earlier use of "authority" was not making a sharp distinction.

Paradigm Regained is superseded by Part 2 of my dissertation

http://www.erights.org/talks/thesis/markm-thesis.pdf

which of course came later.
