How I got stored XSS on the ADMIN panel ?

Hey guys, so I am back with a new post this time. Recently I was assigned a penetration test for a certain client. I have written another post on my CSRF  findings in this penetration test.

The target www.xyz.com  was an adverting platform, and people signing up normally would be considered as Master Admin of the team. These Master Admins can then invite other users as  Admins or normal users to the team. There was also the functionality to change the team's name and other settings.
