Subject: [PATCH] feat(operators): allow operators to access assets page
 (#9095)

* feat(operators): allow operators to access assets page

Adds the "assets" key to workspace operator_settings (defaulting to true
for existing and new workspaces) and toggles the frontend default so the
assets page is visible to operators by default.

* nit: remove settings btn when not available
