CiviCRM 5.37.0 - Create User Record now hides the Password field and uses the check isUserRegistrationPermitted - which prevents Administrators from setting passwords for new Users

Since CiviCRM 5.37.0, it is no longer possible to use the Create User Record form to create a User and set the password. The Password field is now hidden and uses the check isUserRegistrationPermitted function. This check serves no useful purpose in this context and hiding the password field is not desired behaviour as it now prevents Administrators from setting passwords for new Users on this form.

This problem was introduced with this change, https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/commit/633d512254424bba7c2195da8c62a9d3ff43d1e4 and PR https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/18982

The comment was "Also removes the possibility to set a user-defined password for WordPress users." - this change affects all CMS not just WordPress.
