1. A method, comprising:
maintaining, by a network control system, a private virtual network that has controlled access based on a respective group of entity tuples that define one or more of a respective user entity that is authorized to access the private virtual network and one or more respective access device that is authorized to access the private virtual network; and
responsive in real-time to automated processing of a received electronic user request, automatically modifying, by the network control system, a dynamic logical segmentation associated with the private virtual network to change a user entity from being on a shared virtual network but not on a dynamic user private network to being on the dynamic user private network without being disconnected from the shared virtual network by adding an entity tuple associated with the received electronic user request to a group of entity tuples associated with the dynamic user private network.
