I found an apple tech note saying this path.

/Users/Shared/Library/Preferences.

This location was recommended by Apple Sample code.

CFPreferences by design only allows write access to the 
kCFPreferencesAnyUser domain by a user with admin privileges. But 
occasionally developers have had the need to store user preferences 
that are both readable and writable by all users (without 
authorization). Currently the only location that meets this 
requirement is the </Users/Shared> directory. This sample 
demonstrates how to use Core Foundation API's to access (globally 
readable and writable) preferences in this location.
