If you're a group admin, you can temporarily stop someone from posting, commenting and reacting in the group and participating in community chats in the group by suspending them.
When you suspend someone, the next time they visit the group they'll see that their ability to post, comment and react in the group and to participate in community chats in the group has been temporarily turned off.
