I'm sure there's a better way (I haven't fiddled with named_scope before 
this evening) but:

class Participation < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :sandbox
  named_scope :who_are_admins, :conditions => ['role = ?', 'admin']
  named_scope :who_are_users, :conditions => ['role = ?', 'user']
  named_scope :who_are_donkeys, :conditions => ['role = ?', 'donkey']
end

class Sandbox < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates_presence_of :name
  has_many :participations
  has_many :users, :through => :participations
  # just to see what the show syntax would look like
  def donkeys
    self.participations.who_are_donkeys
  end
  def admins
    self.participations.who_are_admins
  end
end

And the show.html.erb

<p>
  <b>Name:</b>
  <%=h @sandbox.name %>
</p>
<p><b>Users (:through)</b><br/>
<% @sandbox.users.each do |user| %>
<%=h user.first+' '+user.last %><br/>
<% end %>
</p>
<p><b>Admins:</b><br/>
<% @sandbox.participations.who_are_admins.each do |admin| %>
<%=h admin.user.first+' '+admin.user.last %><br/>
<% end %>
</p>
<p><b>Users:</b><br/>
<% @sandbox.participations.who_are_users.each do |user| %>
<%=h user.user.first+' '+user.user.last %><br/>
<% end %>
</p>
<p><b>Donkeys:</b><br/>
<% @sandbox.participations.who_are_donkeys.each do |donkey| %>
<%=h donkey.user.first+' '+donkey.user.last %><br/>
<% end %>
</p>
<p><b>Donkeys (sandbox method form):</b><br/>
<% @sandbox.donkeys.each do |donkey| %>
<%=h donkey.user.first+' '+donkey.user.last %><br/>
<% end %>
</p>
