Hi @mar-ro

Perhaps take a look at this similar post [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/api-key-and-document-level-security-query-not-limiting-response/271786/4)

In short I suspect you should be using a `term` query with fields that are of type `keyword`.

The example in the post about uses an API key but the concept is the same.

And using a filter is good approach as well.
