How do individuals and businesses authorize me?

They can also authorize you as a representative by completing Form AUT-01 Authorize a Representative for Access by Phone and Mail, and sending it to their tax centre. Note that Form AUT-01 can be used to give a representative access to your account only by telephone and mail.
