Quick basic thing to understand: the directories under /usr/share are *system* 
directories, where default resources are usually installed alongside the 
applications which use them. Admin rights (aka "root") are required to modify 
them, but this isn't usually necessary because typically there will be a 
corresponding location for *user* resources within your own home directory.

In the case of darktable, essentially everything is in your 
$HOME/.config/darktable directory (but sometimes the $HOME/.local/share 
directory is used by applications for things that aren't strictly 
"configuration"). Also, pay attention to tooltips when hovering over controls 
in darktable... they often provide useful information. In this case, the 
tooltip for the first module widget shows the answer to your question. :-)
