yes, I understand exactly the functions of all the keys and restrictions.

This is the type of key that will allows the user of the steemit account to perform some thing in the account thing like to login the account, we also use to vote for quality content and for editing of content should incase we find error in the content after posting, we also use it to login our steemit wallet.
