Error creating new node label with APOC cypher.run procedure

Neo4j Graph Platform Procedures & APOC
1

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create nodes with a new label using the APOC cypher.run procedure, but I keep getting an error message saying that creating new node labels is not allowed for my user with the roles PUBLIC and admin, overridden by READ. However, I can create new nodes with a new label through MERGE without any issue. The error only appears when I try to use the cypher.run procedure.

Here's the Cypher query I'm using:

CALL apoc.cypher.run('CREATE (n:NewLabel {name: "test"})', {})

And here's the error message I get:

Creating new node label on database 'twitter' is not allowed for user 'neo4j' with roles [PUBLIC, admin] overridden by READ. See GRANT CREATE NEW NODE LABEL ON DATABASE `twitter`...

I've checked my user's permissions, and I seem to have all the required privileges. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

apoc.cypher.run is read only.
