<%= form_for :user do |f| %>
  <%= f.checkbox :admin %> Admin
  ...

This will create a form and a checkbox with name user[admin] and so on.

If you want checkboxes to be selected according the value in User instance remember to pass @user, where @user = User.find(some_id)

In your controller you will have:

def create # or def update
  @user = User.new params[:user] # or User.find
  if @user.save # or @user.update_attributes
    # handle success
  else
    # handle error
  end
end
