Which permission level should an administrator get?

0 for a full administrator; higher values (up to 1000) for limited moderators. A command is usable only if the player's level is lower than or equal to the command's.

Which ID should I use for a Steam player?

Pick the “Steam” platform and enter the SteamID64 (17 digits). For other platforms use the ID shown by the lp command in game.

How to use 7 Days to Die serveradmin.xml editor?

serveradmin.xml (name set by AdminFileName) holds administrators, the whitelist, the blacklist and command permission levels. A low level grants more rights; unlisted players default to 1000 and unlisted commands require level 0.

Import your current serveradmin.xml (or start from the example) and back up the original.
Add administrators: platform, ID (SteamID64 for Steam), name and permission level.
Fill in the whitelist (any entry enables whitelist-only mode), blacklist and per-command levels as needed.
Download the file and replace the server's copy (server stopped, or use in-game commands) then restart.
