Customizing Django auth can be very difficult and that’s why I would recommend looking into 3rd party apps to help you achieve your goals. One you might want to check out is: https://github.com/bee-keeper/django-invitations

even though it is an old question and no real answer, one way to do most of the stuff (without knowing how to act on the "send password") would be:

from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin as DjangoUserAdmin
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm as DjangoUserCreationForm


class UserCreationForm(DjangoUserCreationForm):
    password1 = None
    password2 = None

    def clean(self):
        password = get_random_string() # here you want to maybe send a signal which can be picked up or something
        self.cleaned_data['password1'] = password
        self.cleaned_data['password2'] = password

        return super().clean()


class UserAdmin(DjangoUserAdmin):
    add_form = UserCreationForm

    fieldsets = (
        (None, {'fields': ('username',)}),
        (_('Personal info'), {'fields': ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email')}),
    )
    add_fieldsets = (
        (None, {
            'classes': ('wide',),
            'fields': ('username', 'email'),
        }),
    )
    list_filter = tuple()
    list_display = ('username', 'email', 'first_name', 'last_name')


admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)
