# Explore security configuration in Security and compliance studio

You can, for each level in the security configuration, explore the related references. You can use this, for example, to see if you can lower the license type for a user to reduce license cost.

For example, for a pinned duty, you can explore:

- The related roles.
- The users that are assigned to these roles.
- The related privileges.
- The entry points of these privileges.

For the pinned level, the references with the highest user license type are highlighted. You can set the highlight color in the **Security and compliance studio parameters**.

The license type of each reference is indicated with a colored dot:

- Red dot - Operations
- Orange dot - Activity users
- Gray dot - None
- No dot - Team members

You can open the **Security explorer** from several places in the Security and Compliance Studio:

- **Security management** workspace: **Security explorer** tile, **Roles** tab, and **Users** tab.
- **Security audit** workspace: **Security explorer** tile, **Role history** tab, and **User history** tab

In this procedure, it is opened from the **Security management** workspace, **Security explorer** tile.

### Steps
