It is common for facilities to use a shared login e.g. "imageuser" for all users, in which case MyData's configuration would currently be saved to somewhere like:
However some facilities want each user to be able to log in with their individual account but be able to access the same MyData configuration as other users.
MyData should support saving its configuration to a central location like:
on Windows. The "C:\ProgramData" location can be determined using the appdirs Python module as appdirs.site_config_dir()
MyData's Windows setup wizard can ensure that all users have permission to access the "C:\ProgramData\Monash University\MyData\ folder.
Since we currently don't use a PKG installer on Mac OS X, just a drag-and-drop DMG, we would need to consider how to create the MyData config folder inside appdirs.site_config_dir() which for Mac OS X is:
/Library/Application Support
On Linux, appdirs.site_config_dir() is:
/etc/xdg
The only Linux distro we create packages for currently is RHEL / CentOS. We could add a postinstall scriptlet to the RPM spec to create /etc/xdg/MyData
