I'm not sure i understand the question. You have 2 options:
Install the config system wide, or in a private location.
In your config you have the option to set 'a' base directory (doesn't matter where
taht is at all, as long as it is +w for the user)
There's nothing user specific to it, and it certainly can be changed by someone who
has the possibilty to write to the config...
