If you have a company then you can get all the responsibles for that company and hence the type field and the user. Similarly if you have a user then you have all his responsibles and for each one the type and company. So in a view you might have something like @users.responsibles.each do |responsible| display responsible.company and responsible.type end I think Responsibility might read better as a model name by the way.
