In general, preventing members access to company information is a serious matter. However, the answer in your case would depend, in part, on the operating agreement and the rights that are granted to the various members in it, the type of information access to which is being restricted, whether such a restriction affects a member's ability to file taxes or make other governmental filings, whether it prejudices a member in an unreasonable way, whether it violates a duty of fair dealings between the members that may exist etc.

Not addressing this in a timely and proper manner may create irreparable harm, so I suggest that you contact an attorney who would at least would be able to review the operating agreement and weigh the facts.
