Movie Database: db.schema.nodeTypeProperties() Not allowed for user neo4j with roles[]

When running call db.schema.nodeTypeProperties() on the Movie database, Neo4J returns the following error:

Neo.ClientError.Security.Forbidden

Database access is not allowed for user 'neo4j' with roles [].

This call works on the other databases I've created in Neo4J Desktop. Just not on the pre-installed Movie database. Probably something simple...

Neo4j Browser version: 4.1.0
Neo4j Desktop 1.3.0

(I've looked at https://community.neo4j.com/t/neo-clienterror-security-forbidden-read-operations-are-not-allowed-for-user-neo4j-with-no-roles/11458 and https://community.neo4j.com/t/write-operations-are-not-allowed-for-user-neo4j-with-full-restricted-to-read/3114 and not been able to figure out the solution there.)

can you switch to system database, and provide me the result of list users and roles ?

To both the Movie database and to the System database I show

Connected as
Username: neo4j
Roles: (No roles)

In the Neo4J Browser, SHOW USERS, SHOW ROLES, and SHOW ALL ROLES all return

Neo.ClientError.Security.Forbidden

Permission denied.

@dominicvivek06, any insights on this?

Hi @james_mireles - do you get Permission denied in the system database as well ?

Can you create new databases from system database ?

If you want to work on the movie database now, and debug later on your permission issue, i would suggest,
go to https://sandbox.neo4j.com/ and create an empty database.

once all setup is done, execute
:play movie-graph

This will save time for you, if you are currently in learning process.

my 2 cents.

Hi, @dominicvivek06,

call db.schema.nodeTypeProperties() does not return an error on the System database. I do not have problems with the other two I've created at this point. I can query them successfully.

Much obliged for your assist.
