Association data within a fields_for

How do I use association data from within a fields_for?

I’ve got a has many through relationship between users, schools and schools_users. A user can have multiple schools and a school has multiple users. In schools_users there is a user_role field in addition to the common user_id and school_id.

In the show view I have:

<% @school.schools_users.each do |user| %>

<%= user.user.first_name %> <%= user.user.last_name %><%= user.user_role %> <% end %>

but I can’t figure out how to do the same thing from within the fields_for on the edit page.

<%= f.fields_for :schools_users do |f| %>

<tr>

	<td><%= NEED USER NAME HERE %></td>

	<td><%= f.select(:user_role, active_role_options)%></td>

	<td><%= link_to_remove_fields 'Delete', f %></td>

</tr>

<% end %>

Thanks for any help!
