# Get User accounts based on authority

Each <mark style="color:yellow;">user account</mark> is associated with an authority, which is the owner of the account. To query the user details associated with an authority, we query the User account’s authority field using the *<mark style="color:yellow;">\_eq</mark>* filter. Please note, the User account fields can be handpicked as per your applications requirements.

You can directly copy paste this code on <mark style="color:yellow;">replit</mark> and see it in action.
