There is no definite answer to this but, if you want my advice, you store all symbols and footprints locally with your project. Of course you may begin by using standard parts from a global (comes-with-the-installation) location that isn't under your control but, migrate them to a local library that is. Then you can save at will and transport the whole project without fear of it relying on libraries that were part of the installation and not part of a new set-up.- <rant>I will now say that I don't like the way Altium does things and will never use it again in this life or the next.</rant>

Of course you may begin by using standard parts from a global (comes-with-the-installation) location that isn't under your control but, as soon as you can migrate the ones you use to a local library that is under your control. Then you can transport the whole project (and libraries) without fear of it relying on libraries that were part of the installation and not part of a new set-up.
