The Django admin site has Authentication and Authorization which has users and groups. When we add models, they are displayed below this. Is it possible to add a model immediately below Groups, Users? And how can we change the existing names?

It's a bit tricky, takes some work, and it's going to trigger some warning in Django 1.8. But this is basically what you do:
Suppose you have an application myauth that will override the default django.contrib.auth application...
In myauth/models.py do this:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User, Group
class ExtraModel(models.Model):
...
ExtraModel is the model you want to add.
In myauth/__init__.py do this:
from django.apps import AppConfig
class OverrideAuthConfig(AppConfig):
name = 'auth'
verbose_name = "New User and Authentication"
default_app_config = 'auth.OverrideAuthConfig'
In myauth/admin.py do this:
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import User, Group, ExtraModel
admin.site.register(User)
admin.site.register(Group)
admin.site.register(ExtraModel)
And in your settings.py, within INSTALLED_APPS comment out the line:
...
#'django.contrib.auth',
...
and just add your application:
...
'myauth',
...

Try to override admin index template ...
change this {% for app in app_list %} to {% for app in app_list reversed %} or sort it in some custom way ...
EDIT
seems I've found easier solution :)
