  2. Assign access rights to the users.

Designer is already pre-configured, but we don't know which tables you are using in ServiceNow. So our recommendation is the following:
3. Class Definitions and cross-scope privileges, i.e., CSDM (tables & relationships) you want to use and ensure the Class Definitions and Cross-Scope privileges are in alignment with your target metamodel
4. Shapes and libraries to setup the preferred shapes for your organization.
