In modern conditions, protection data from unauthorized access is one of the main tasks for the design, creation and support of the systems associated with big data processing. In such multi-user information systems, the defined access control rules determine the restriction of access to certain actions with system data. The process of adequately and conveniently presentation of these access rules is an important and difficult task. This article presents a mecha­nism for visualizing the processes of access control to multi-user system data using system "ISTINA" example. The first section describes the relational model of logical access control based on relations chains, which is used in a big scientometric system. Requirements are formed, both to the system itself and to the access control model. The second section of the article presents the visualization model, which is a component of the general access control model to big data of the system. The developed visualization subsystem provides data for administrator in an accessible and understandable form. On the basis of these data the administrator evaluates the current security policy, analyzes the access control rules. The third section briefly describes the software implementation and testing of the visualization subsystem. The mechanisms for visualizing the processes of big data access control in the scientometric content system presented in this article are an important addition to the relational access control model. These mechanisms provide effective system support during its exploitation.
