# Setup the Journey designer plan configuration review and approval process

ServiceNow administrators configure the Journey designer plan configuration feature and process.

Administrators assign the initial owners and approvers to Journey designer plan configurations.

In Journey designer, administrators can assign plan configuration owners and approvers, delegating plan configuration and maintenance. Delegating plan configuration maintenance enables people with the right expertise to maintain plan configurations.

Administrators can assign owners and approvers of plan configurations associated with departments to users in that department who are responsible for the content. Plan configuration owners and approvers don’t need any elevated privileges in ServiceNow.

**Important:** It’s optional to assign owners and approvers to a plan configuration. Administrators have full capabilities to update and create plan configurations regardless whether there’s an assigned owner.
