Auth User in Query, is this also good practise?

Hi guys, I have a quick question. is this a good practise?

$test = WorkersTest::where('workers_id', Auth::user()->id)->get();

basically this is a query where is only select based on their login auth::user is this a good practise?

Thank you

Typically, I would use a relationship in similar cases:

auth()->user()->workerTests;

But it amounts to the same thing really. The route(s) that use this Controller method would be protected by auth middleware of course.

Also, you can get the id for the authenticated user using Auth::id() or auth()->id() which looks a little cleaner to my eye.
