First
Set "false" as default value at all those fields.
Second
If you can set only one role per user then you should use radiobox instead checkbox
Third
Capture the parameters sent by the post.
Assuming that you created a route for group/create_group that goes to the data_submitted method
public function data_submitted() {
$data = array(
'role' => $this->input->post('role'),
//more info that you get from the post..
);
Now load your model and save it...
}

Put off [] and in your php file logic your can do : $this->input->post("role"); and get value. If you want to do multi-choice's checkbox your must change to an unique name and set value to true for each of them.
