3564637 - No data previewed when Permissions Entity contains a DAC or protected view

Symptom

When modelling a DAC, the Permission entity contains a DAC or a protected view in its lineage. 
In this scenario, no data is displayed. So DAC does not preview any data.

Environment

SAP Datasphere

Cause

Working as designed.

Resolution

This is the intended behavior. Nested DAC are considered a bad modelling design.
Therefore, remove the DAC or Protected view from the lineage of a Permissions Entity.
