Blocking Objects during development phase

Dear All,

I would like to block objects during the development phase.

I mean if for example an user is currently modifying one specific table and a second user wants to do some modification on the same table (object) the second developer will be notified that is not possible because the table is being used.

Is this something that I can control / manage from the authorization perspective? How could I do that?

I will appreciate any idea.

Thanks,

FedeX
