Do I need to set up my search head or one of my indexers as my deployment server to deploy and manage universal forwarder configurations?

I just set up 2 indexers and 1 search head. I need to use a deployment server to manage and deploy configurations across my universal forwarder. Do I need to set up the search head as my deployment server, or use one of the indexers? A quick response will be highly appreciated from any SPLUNKER.....
