I want to be able to write to a subfolder I create in that directory. Will
all users be able to write to this folder even if they are not
administrators?

Is situation different in workgroup as opposed to domain?

Not sure about domain environment, but here is the info for workgroups. This might be the case in a system connected to a domain also, unless the administrator has modified the default Permissions:

Standard Users have the following Permissions:

1. Read & Execute
2. List Folder Contents
3. Read

And the following Special Permissions:

1. Create Files / Write Data
2. Create Folders / Append Data
3. Write Attributes
4. Write Extended Attributes
