Explanation

To revert from elevated security privileges, such as High Security Settings, a user must log out of the ServiceNow instance and then log back in.

Common mistakes.

  • A. There isn't a specific 'Normal role' to select; roles are assigned and active based on login and elevation status.
  • C. No standard 'System Administration > Normal Security module' exists in ServiceNow for the purpose of reverting elevated security levels.
  • D. Selecting a Global Update Set is related to tracking configuration changes for development and deployment, not managing user security levels.
  • E. Ending impersonation reverts the session to the original user if someone was impersonated, but does not relinquish elevated security privileges assumed by the current user.
