[NOTE]
====
The `date()` function will be evaluated and the value used to evaluate the privilege will be the date at the time the property-based privilege was created. Bear this in mind when designing your property rules and make use of the `SHOW PRIVILEGES AS COMMANDS` command to check what the stored value is. This is essential when revoking property-based privileges containing evaluated function values like `date()`.

Not all temporal values are comparable, see link:{neo4j-docs-base-uri}/cypher-manual/{page-version}/syntax/operators/#cypher-ordering[Cypher Manual -> Syntax -> Operators -> Ordering and comparison of values].
