.Granting permission to `READ` all properties on nodes where the property `createdAt` is later than the current date to role `regularUsers`:
[source, syntax, role="noheader"]
----
GRANT READ {*} ON GRAPH * FOR (n) WHERE n.createdAt > date() TO regularUsers
----
[NOTE]
====
The `date()` function is evaluated, and the value used to evaluate the privilege is the date when the property-based privilege is created.
Keep this in mind when designing your property rules, and use the `SHOW PRIVILEGES AS COMMANDS` command to check the stored value.
This is essential when revoking property-based privileges containing evaluated function values like `date()`.

[NOTE]
====
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].

.Show the privilege created by the command in the previous example as a revoke command:
[source, syntax, role="noheader"]
----
SHOW ROLE regularUsers PRIVILEGES AS REVOKE COMMANDS

I think there's a lot of things granted to that role but if this page isn't being tested I guess just returning the one you want to show is fine 🤷

yes, I did want to show the explicit case and not everything that was granted to the role
