I'm trying to create a new user on a neo4j CE database using the following:

```auto
CALL dbms.security.createUser('username', 'password', true);

```

Following these instructions from the Neo4j manual:

[https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/reference/user-management-community-edition/](https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/reference/user-management-community-edition/)

But I get the following error:

```auto
There is no procedure with the name `dbms.security.createUser` registered for this database instance. Please ensure you've spelled the procedure name correctly and that the procedure is properly deployed.

```

Can anyone explain why this isn't working?
