Grid owner cannot start the database?

I was playing with my brand new 12.2 RAC and I tried starting it from the user "grid":

[grid_at_rac2 ~]$ srvctl start db -d rac12
PRCR-1079 : Failed to start resource ora.rac12.db CRS-2527: Unable to start 'ora.rac12.db' because it has a 'hard' dependency on 'ora.acfs.acfs.acfs'CRS-0245: User doesn't have enough privilege to perform the operation

Apparently, the GI owner doesn't have enough privileges for this operation. When I log in as "oracle", I have no problems whatsoever:

Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production

SQL> This looks a bit counter-intuitive. Why would the user grid not be allowed to start the databases? This is the only RAC configuration I have, so I can't check releases 11G and 12cR1. Does the same thing happen there or is it specific to the new release?
