Static table values in Rails

I'm creating a rails app where I want to assign users a role and access level, e.g, admin etc. I would like to store this list of levels in a database table so I can autopopulate certain forms and views. How would I do this? I'm sure I need to build a regular rails model class but how would I assign it to a form control like a dropdown? I want to have a dropdown that pulls in each of the access levels from that table.

Any guidance would be warmly appreciated.
