Why each option
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.
There isn't a specific 'Normal role' to select; roles are assigned and active based on login and elevation status.
When you elevate privileges (e.g., to the `security_admin` role for High Security Settings), these elevated roles are temporary and tied to your current session. To relinquish these temporary roles and return to your standard security profile, you must completely log out of the ServiceNow instance and then log back in, which clears the elevated session roles.
No standard 'System Administration > Normal Security module' exists in ServiceNow for the purpose of reverting elevated security levels.
Selecting a Global Update Set is related to tracking configuration changes for development and deployment, not managing user security levels.
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.
