No, neither of those are requirements for createing test:b, as
demonstrated by my example (note that I had tokens for "kolya",
not "kolya.root").  As long as you have a non-foreign pts id in
a cell, and have tokens for that pts id, you can create test:b
(as long as there's some test group that's non-empty).  You don't
have to either own or be a member of test or of any other group.
