GWToolset will only be usable by users in the new 'gwtoolset' user group [0]. The admins on Commons will have control of the membership of this group via the usual means. In addition to the group membership, GLAM sites will need to opt-in to having their media imported by requesting that their domain be whitelisted for downloading [1].
