Programmatically changing a user's group

Permalink
Hi, is there a way to automate changing a user's group? For instance, let's say there are two groups, Customers and Guests. Suppose a customer's subscription is over, I want the user's group changed back to guest in order to restrict access to store content. How can I pull this off? Thanks.

Never mind. Solved it using mySQL. Used php to query the user's subscription on the database. Depending on the subscription status, I would programmatically change the user's group using either;
if (!$u->inGroup($g)) {
    $u->enterGroup($g);
}

or
if ($u->inGroup($gr)) {
    $u->exitGroup($g);
}
