What it means

Users and businesses that handle XRP Ledger accounts can see the change in how account access is organized after October 8. Operational accounts can be given specific tasks while the main signing keys stay separate, which changes who can act on an account in day-to-day use.

Before this activation, the account owner model centered on the main signing keys; after it, separate accounts can be given limited powers such as approving customers or making payments. What stays the same is that the main holdings remain controlled by the keys that are kept offline. (per coindesk.com)
