Explanation

The Information System Owner is responsible for configuration management and control tasks, ensuring that all changes to the system are properly planned, authorized, tested, and documented. This role oversees the system throughout its lifecycle, including hardware/software configurations and patches. The Common Control Provider manages inherited controls, the Authorizing Official makes risk acceptance decisions, and the CIO sets IT strategy - none of these roles own day-to-day configuration management responsibilities for a specific system.
