How to store a config file that can be read by UI and client plugin at the same time?

As is mentioned in the title, we have developped a plugin, which need to store some device configuation data in the local filesystem(I am really willing to store these kind of plugin dedicated data to some vimport service interface, but, I havent find any function support this).

If we want the plugin can read the same file no matter running in Client or UI virgo server, the most reasonable path should be /usr/lib,  but, If every plugin stores data in the lib folder, it would be a mess.  

So, I want to ask, is there any other way to achieve this?

As UI and Client are using different user, and /usr/lib is not writable, it seems, there is no way to store any data which can be shared between UI and Client.
