#### Description

This operation behaves identically to the `account_update` operation (see [TxAccountUpdates](/technical-informations/operations/txaccountupdates.md)) except that, when the owner, active and posting authorities and the memo key are not present, the transaction can be signed with the posting key instead of the active key.
