1. A method for managing infrastructure elements in a network system, the method comprising: establishing, for an application managed by a user, an application control configuration that designates administrative access to infrastructure elements comprising both host servers supporting a plurality of workload services that executes the application and server support elements that support the host servers, wherein the application control configuration establishes and lists authorization and authentication rights to each of the infrastructure elements associated with the application; detecting a modification to the application that causes one or more of the workload services to be transferred to at least one auxiliary host server; updating, in response to the detected modification, the application control configuration such that the administrative access is revised to enable the user to manage each of the host servers supporting the workload services executing the modified application and each of the server support elements supporting the host servers, wherein updating the application control configuration includes obtaining credential information associated with each of the host servers supporting the workload services executing the modified application and each of the server support elements supporting the host servers and revising the application control configuration based on the obtained credential information, wherein the credential information includes a cryptographic key, wherein revising the application control configuration includes removing the user's administrative access to a host server that originally supported any of the workload services that executed the application and is not presently supporting any of the workload services executing the modified application and removing the user's administrative access to one or more server support elements supporting the host server; and utilizing the application control configuration to generate an application configuration topology map that visually links the host servers supporting the workload services executing the modified application and the server support elements supporting the host servers, wherein the application configuration topology map is automatically revised to reflect modifications made to the application control configuration upon the workload services being transferred to the at least one auxiliary host server.
