Explanation
The project charter is the foundational document that formally authorizes a project. It covers exactly what the question describes: identifying project roles (including the PM's authority), justifying the business need, and establishing high-level scope boundaries. A business case justifies the business need but does not assign roles or define scope. A scope statement defines detailed scope boundaries but does not justify the business need or assign roles. A project management plan is a comprehensive planning document created after the charter is approved - it is too detailed and comes too late in the process.
