Pull Request for Issue #44732

Summary of Changes

The security fix introduced in Joomla 5.2.3 causes issues in the "admin needs to approve new user registration" feature, if specific conditions are met.

That's because the ACL check, if access to a specific view (in this case the registration view) can be granted now happens before the actual task is performed, redirecting the admin user to the profile page. This PR now prevents the execution of the checks for non-display tasks.

Testing Instructions

• Create a 5.x site, create a menu item for the user registration with access level set to "public"
• Configure the site to require user approval by admins
• Register a new user in the frontend
• Confirm the registration using the link in the email
• Click on the confirmation link that the admin receives. It will point to the registration menu item and the task ("registration.activate") and the token will be appended
• You'll be asked to login using your admin account
