Open Players, click a player who is on the server, and scroll to Admin powers. From there you can teleport them to another player, give them an item or XP, and switch God mode, Invisible or No clip on and off. Events at this player sends a horde, lightning or thunder at them. The panel sends the game's own commands for you.

Find an item ID

An item ID is the module, a dot and the item's name, such as Base.Axe. The same form is used by Banned Item IDs: How to ban items from loot on your Project Zomboid server. Items from mods have the mod's own module name.
