Change User's User Group on Form Submit Without Force Logout

[hominid4]

Hi, I have a form PHP onAfterProcess that removes a user from one user group and adds them to another user group. This works as needed, but is there way to achieve that without forcing the user to log out and back in in order to use those new User Group rights? Hugh, did you have luck with that based on your old thread below?

Thanks!

What function are you using to add/remove group membership?

Iirc, in J! 3.x, using /...

JUserHelper::addUserToGroup( $userId, $groupId );
JUserHelper::removeUserFromGroup( $userId, $groupId );

... should change their groups without requiring a logout.

Thanks Hugh for the clarification. I was using addUserToGroup but I had the below code following that, that I pulled from a post within the forums and that looks to be the culprit. I've removed that and it's working correctly now. Thanks again!

$session = JFactory::getSession();
$session->set('user', new JUser($user->get('id')));

Yeah, I think that was needed in earlier versions of J!, but addUserToGroup() now handles updating the session internally.
