Description

Some plugins render their components in the team sidebar, but the sidebar is only visible when the user is a member of more than one team. It would be useful to be able to configure the system to always show the team sidebar, so that users with only one team membership can use the plugin properly.

Research direction
The issue requests a config setting to always show the team sidebar. Investigate how existing config settings are implemented in Mattermost, likely in the server's config structure and the client's store. Check the 'config' model and related files such as 'model/config.go' and 'store/sqlstore'. Look at the web app's 'components/sidebar' for how sidebar visibility is toggled based on team count. The assignee may have ongoing work; check the linked JIRA issue for updates.
