Suspend a membership

POST /v1/organizations/{org_id}/memberships/{membership_id}:suspend · permission organizations:write

Suspends an active membership (reason admin_suspended). A suspended member cannot sign in in the organization's context and their organization sessions end. The organization's last active admin cannot be suspended. Suspending a suspended membership writes nothing. The write is audited as organization_membership.updated with change=suspended.
