Groups

I want to add users to one of two groups. Faculty group 1 and faculty group 2. They are added based on wether they entered the correct code in the log in process. How would I do this, and then determine if a user is part of a particular group.

when they login compare the code they entered to the correct code. if its correct, set that users group to 1, else set it to 2

//log the user in
 [PFUser logInWithUsernameInBackground:username password:password
                block:^(PFUser *user, NSError *error) {
                    if (user) {

                        // Do stuff after successful login.

                        [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];

                        //compare the code in the textField
                        if ([self.codeTextField.text isEqualToString:@"1234"]) {
                              user[@"group"] = 1;
                        } else {

                              user[@"group"] = 2;

                        }
                        //save the user after modifying it
                        [user saveInBackground];

                        } else {

                        // The login failed. Check error to see why.
                            NSString *errorString = [error userInfo][@"error"];

                            UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Sorry" message:errorString delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];

                            [alertView show];

                        }
                }];
