Im trying to fix this but I can’t find a way

 checkUser: async (strapi: Strapi, email: string) => {
const user = await strapi.db.query("plugin::users-permissions.user").findOne({
  where: { email: email },
});

if (user) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  },

error:

{
    "data": null,
    "error": {
        "status": 403,
        "name": "Error",
        "message": "Undefined attribute level operator email",
        "details": {}
    }
}

I suggest use the entityService over query btw.
