Change owner of Maintenance Plan

I know that you can change the owner of a job. How can I change the owner o
f
a maintenance plan?
As a follow up question, does it really matter from a technical or
functional perspective who owns the maintenance plan. The job owner can be
different and has technical implications per its owner. One of the reasons
I
want to change the owner, is because the person that created these plans is
not longer in the role of managing databases. I would like to change the
owner to a generic account like 'sa' or to an appropriate active dba
individual.
Thanks
TimHi Tim,
A maintained plan is executed by means of SQL Server Job, so if you
change the owner in the Job it will reflect accordingly. An owner is
important because SQL Server Job needs proper authorization to expect steps
layer out in the plan/job.

And no...It doesn't matter. It's the job owner that matters.
