There's nothing special about TSO; HLQ=userid is handled the same way in batch, 
STC and TSO.

Subject: Re: Can a non-admin restrict others from viewing one of their own MVS 
data sets?

Few points:
1. In MVS world there is no concept of file ownership like in Unix.
2. For TSO users HLQ=userID is special case, but it is rather "ALTER by
default", which is hard to restrict and it has very little to do with
authorities management.
2.1 Such datasets are called "his own" despite there is no ownership
concept.
2.2 Note, special treatment is not for every RACF user, it is for TSO
users only. So, for example ftp and many other methods are excluded
(assuming the user has no TSO segment).
3. Every TSO user may or may NOT have rights to manage dataset
authorities, his own (HLQ=userid) OR OTHER DATASETS.
4. Details depend on your setup. Usually "his own" datasets are in scope
of the user (userid is the owner of userid.** profile) and that is
enough to manage access list and UACC.
5. However admin may restrict RACF commands like AD, ALDSD nad PE and
then user cannot use them to manage rights. There are other methods also.
