VirtualBox: how does auto capture keyboard work?

How does the VirtualBox auto capture keyboard work? I want understand clearly the difference between when it is enabled or not enabled, taking into consideration each of the following scenarios if a VM is running: as a Desktop Environment (Enable or not I can write in peace in the Guest?) as a Server Environment I know how to enable and disable but I want to know precisely when it should and should not be enabled.
