Description

The top bar menu is only shown if the user has the permission which is incorrect, a user with more than one organization should be able to change their organization even without the permission.
Same is true for locations.
The source of the issue is a check for "show_{taxonomy}_tab" which is used on edit forms and shouldn't be used by the selector.

I don't think we should support such inconsistency, I'd rather grant such permission by assigning user to the organization. Note that we're probably checking view_organizations on many other places (host form selection, multi selects in objects forms, audits list).

The other option, which I like less, is, authz helpers returning true in case user is assigned to a given org.

The case here is when a user is assigned to two organizations without view_organization, they can't change to a different organization because the dropdown isn't displayed. this is a regression of the nav bar reimplementation in react, previously the navbar did show the option to change locations (e.g.: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/1.19-stable/app/views/home/_location_dropdown.html.erb)
