How to test policies correctly?

Hello, I am confused a tiny bit about policy testing.

As an example, right now what I do is the following:

assert match?({:error, _}, Accounts.get_user_by_email(users.admin.email, actor: users.user))


Previously, I was doing this:

assert Accounts.get_user_by_email(
  users.admin.email,
  actor: users.user,
  not_found_error?: false
) == {:ok, nil}


Both pass, but I am unsure as to what I should be doing... Maybe matching on the type of error is better (not found, forbidden, etc), instead of matching on any error?
