I have the same need as macno and want to give a few userid the permission to edit the contents in the tinyD module but do not want to give them full Administrator right. I want to simply hack the module and hardcode those usenames at places where the permission is checked so that they are able to edit the content. Would you please tell me in which file the permission is checked?

Although xoops has 'Group', if I use 10 instances of tinyd I would have to create 10 customised groups so that the contributors can help me maintain the content. I think this is not a graceful solution. As a long-term solution, may I ask you to consider the following idea: each tinyd instance maintains a list of usernames who are given the permission to edit the content. The site administrator can add names to the list or delete names from the list.
