Website restriction -> Private Sale: Login only, preventing registration on API as Admin

[ghezelbash]

Preconditions and environment

• Magento version: 2.4.5-p2 commerce
• Go to Stores > Configuration > General > General > Website Restrictions, set Access Restriction (general/restriction/is_active) to 'Yes' and set Restriction Mode (general/restriction/mode) to Private Sale: Login Only
• Create an admin integration token

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to Stores > Configuration > General > General > Website Restrictions
2. Set Access Restriction (general/restriction/is_active) to 'Yes' and set Restriction Mode (general/restriction/mode) to Private Sale: Login Only
3. Clear the config cache
4. Create an admin integration token from System > Integrations
5. Send a REST api POST request to /rest/V1/customers to create a customer and include admin integration token as Bearer token as Autorization

Expected result

Since admins can create custumers in Admin area when website restrictions is on, then they should have the ability to create customers via API.
Expected: Customer created. (Registration working when the requester is an admin user)

Actual result

API raises a 400 bad request response saying: "Can not register new customer due to restrictions are enabled."
