What causes this issue?

Prerequisite
Before making any changes to a custom CDS view, check if the respective
custom CDS view has any dependencies to other objects. You can find all
dependencies in the Extensibility Inventory app. If the underlying data
sources contain errors, these errors must be corrected first.
Due to technical changes of the underlying data source, the access
protection of the primary data source or the associated source of your
custom CDS view has changed. You have to republish the custom CDS view
to reflect the changes of the access protection.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

1. (Prerequisite) Search for your custom CDS view in the Extensibility
Inventory app to see where errors occurs. If any of the underlying
datasources contain errors, these errors must be corrected first.
2. Republish the custom CDS view to update the access protection. A
custom CDS view inherits its access protection from the primary data
source.
Note: If the associaton properties of the associated data source have
been changed, you might need to republish the associated data source
before you can republish the custom CDS view that associates it.
Further Information
Note: A custom CDS view with the access protection property "privileged
access" can't be used as primary data source for an OData API scenario,
because the underlying data won't be exposed due to the access
restrictions. You can use a CDs view with the access protection property
"Protected" and add the CDS view as associated data source.
