### Description

Hi there, am trying to figure how to add the Channels, Private Channels and Direct Messages sections that admins get on the sidebar for regular users too. Cannot find the setting anywhere- is this possible? I don’t mind letting users choose to have Unreads and favorites but I know not having a channel list, DM list and private channel list will rub them the wrong way. For non admin users, all that shows for us is Discussions as shown below. Thanks. Left side is non-admin, right side is admin.
