This question and your previous one indicate that your missing fundamental Symfony knowledge. Go through the Jobeet Tutorial. It will save you from many mistakes and save you time in the long run. — Jeremy Kauffman

sfWidgetFormDoctrineChoice has an option called 'expanded' that if it's on true then will display the options with checkboxes (check this example from the symfony's Jobeet).

In your UserForm.class.php you have to put something like this (check your BaseUserForm.class.php)

<!-- lib/form/doctrine/UserForm.class.php -->
...
public function configure(){

    $this->setWidget('groups_list', new sfWidgetFormDoctrineChoice(array(
              'multiple' => true, 
              'model' => 'Group', //check that on your base
              'expanded' => true, //set checkboxs
    )));

}
...
