Hi Daniel
Unfortunately I don't think this is easy to do as you would have to write this functionality yourself. So you need to have a good knowledge of PHP and the will to plow through some EZ code to get an understanding for the inner workings.
My idea (thoroughly untested) would be to use the customedithandler http://serwatka.net/index.php/en/blog/ez_publish_3_8_new_custom_edit_handlerto fetch the node of the published user object and then move this node to the respective user group. Moving a node using PHP is pretty simple, you just use something like $currentNode->move($newParentNodeId);
There might be one big problem: I don't know how the user and it's user group are connected. If it is just by placement, similar to an article and it's parent folder, the above idea should work ok. If there is another connection I don't know what it is and how to change it depending on some user input.
Good luck
Claudia

Hi
Indeed, users are just content objects and the node placements defines to which group they belong. It is just the user/group/role related functions which take this into account
