Hello,
What do you mean when you say template? Are you talking about templates built with our layout builder? Are you using Theme Blvd Layouts to Posts plugin to attach them to posts? Or, do you mean WordPress theme template files, in general? Or something else maybe?
Apologies, but there is no feature in the theme for this and would be a customization you’d need to make from your child theme.
I would suggest looking into utilizing the filter
themeblvd_frontend_config— Basically, every time a page loads on your site, the theme builds this array of data that is then referenced throughout several places. This includes determining if a custom layout is used and what that is.It will be helpful to look at how this array is built and where that filter is applied, so you know how to work it from your child theme’s functions.php. You can find this filter applied in /framework/includes/class-tb-frontend-init.php of the theme.
The Theme Blvd Layouts to Posts plugin is actually a great example of something you can look at, that is already doing something similar to what you want to do. You should check it out, and how it assigns custom layouts to posts, when normally the theme is only adding them to pages based on an assigned page template.

You’ll see the plugin first filters in the custom layout to
themeblvd_frontend_config. You’ll obviously have your own logic here in terms of assigning whatever layout, based on the current user.https://github.com/themeblvd/theme-blvd-layouts-to-posts/blob/master/tb-layouts-to-posts.php#L54
And then once the layout has been set to the frontend config, you then need to redirect to the custom layout page template.
