It's probably a licensing issue. Make sure you have your PS4 as the primary on the account that owns the games.

Your games might be locked because the primary PS4 setting changed. Have the other user set their PS4 as your primary, then restore licenses.

Been there! Often, the issue resolves when the account owner restores their licenses. Go to Settings > Account Management > Restore Licenses.
