You can use 3 logic_hooks together

  1. before_save for module Users
  2. after_relationship_add for modules Users and SecurityGroups
  3. after_relationship_delete for modules Users and SecurityGroups

and write the code like some this for changing user preference:

$user = new User();
$user->retrieve(<user_id>);
$user->->setPreference('subtheme', <theme name>, 0, 'global');

List of theme names:

  • Dawn
  • Day
  • Dusk
  • Night

Hi, @islamhanafi
You can:

<?php
$hook_version = 1; 
$hook_array = Array(); 
$hook_array['after_save'] = Array(); 
$hook_array['after_save'][] = Array(1, 'All hooks for user', 'custom/modules/Users/User_hook.php','User_hook', 'themesBySecurityGroup');

file: custom/modules/Users/User_hook.php

<?php

class User_hook {
    function themesBySecurityGroup(&$bean, $event, $arguments) {
        $sg=array();
        $sg=$bean->get_linked_beans('securitygroups_users','SecurityGroup');
        // place for analyse SecurityGroup and choosing <theme name>
        $user->->setPreference('subtheme', <theme name>, 0, 'global');
    }
 }

$sg will have information about all security group which relate to the user.
