@somdeb44

how is your conf/neo4j.conf defined with respect to parameters

`dbms.security.procedures.allowlist`  
`dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted`

and as described at [Installation - APOC Documentation](https://neo4j.com/docs/apoc/current/installation/#restricted)

Can you not use `load csv`[LOAD CSV - Cypher Manual](https://neo4j.com/docs/cypher-manual/current/clauses/load-csv/#_recommendations)

Below both are like this in my config file.  
one is with # and another without #  
#dbms.security.procedures.allowlist=apoc.coll._,apoc.load._,gds.\*  
dbms.security.procedures.unrestricted=jwt.security._,apoc._

we definitely can use load CSV , but my target is going forward i would be using Cypher\_shell utility where i will be passing my file name as parameter to apoc load.  
so i am trying to use apoc.load procedure

i don't have explanation for it, this configs were already added in config file. I have seen them after installing the neo4j desktop.
