Can an edge server be configured to block a stream and then unblocked using a curl command?

I currently have an origin server that is giving the video to the edge server. I have Client A pulling video from the origin while Client B is pulling from the edge. Can I temporarily block Client B from receiving a stream while not affecting Client A’s ability to see it using a curl command to the REST API?

I have tried disconnecting the stream file on the edge server as illustrated in the link below but, it does not remove the stream from the incoming streams and I am still able to see the stream (video) with Client B.

Stream files are configured as liverepeaters on the edge server and rtp on the origin server for media caster type.

If I disconnect the stream on the origin side I do not see the stream on both Client A and Client B side. I want to be clear I am trying to temporarily block Client B only and later reconnect the stream.

Thank you for your help.
