Not realy. For each user it is a primary group defined as primary group that is the group at login time and is store in /etc/passwd file under gid group.
You can try to do a work aroung and setup your own script called from .profile and sleep for 90 seconds. In the script use newgrp command. Of course, previouslly, you assigned the specified user to the secondary group.
see man group, man newgrp. Don't forget to create the link ln -s /etc/group /etc/logingroup
