Admins can choose to temporarily suspend a non-Admin team member’s message-sending capabilities on Crew.
Suspended team members will not be able to send or reply to any messages in Crew—either direct or group messages—for the duration of the suspension. (Crew Calls will also be suspended for that person during the suspension.) They will be able to read all messages, and to participate in all other Crew functions, e.g. shift changes, time-off requests, etc.
Suspension can last for an hour, 24 hours or 72 hours. An Admin can also decide to end a suspension early (see below for details.)
There are two ways an Admin can effect a team member suspension: from Message Details or from the Coworkers tab.

Admins will be able to see a notation of the suspension under the team member’s name in the Coworkers tab, along with the time remaining in the suspension.
Admins can see a record of the suspension, and how long it has to run, in the Coworkers list
If the suspended team member tries to initiate or respond to a message, they will see a note informing them of the suspension. They will also see it noted under their own name in their Coworkers list, along with the time remaining in the suspension. No other non-Admin team members will be aware of the suspension on Crew.
If the suspended team member tries to send a message, they’ll see a notice
