how can I fetch children pages with a field ‘allowedusers’, which has the value of a currently logged in user ??  
This doesn’t work

```auto
$user_projects = $page->children()->filterBy('allowedusers', $kirby->user() ); 

```

I assume you are using a users field? This should work:

```auto
$user_projects = $page->children()->filter(function($child) {
  return $child->allowedusers()->toUsers()->has($kirby->user());
});

```

Yes, I am using a `users` field. The code works fine. Thanks.
