A serialization apparatus for a data processing system wherein access restrictions are automatically enforced: (1) in behalf of individual machine instructions in order to maintain object integrity; and (2) at each user's discretion in order to maintain synchronization among all concurrent users of any given object. Various types of restrictions can be enforced in behalf of both machine instructions and users, allowing concurrent access to objects at various levels where appropriate.
