Jason Hi Jason,
Is it possible to find all documents that contains “userA” in “users” ?

Json object example

{
    "id": "123",
    "users": [
       "userA",
      "userB"
    ]
}

I would assume string[] should be the answer but prefer to make sure with you first

Yeah users should be a string[] and then you can do filter_by: users:=UserA
