Method: projects.serviceAccounts.getIamPolicy

Returns the Cloud IAM access control policy for a ServiceAccount.

Note: Service accounts are both resources and identities. This method treats the service account as a resource. It returns the Cloud IAM policy that reflects what members have access to the service account.

This method does not return what resources the service account has access to. To see if a service account has access to a resource, call the getIamPolicy method on the target resource. For example, to view grants for a project, call the projects.getIamPolicy method.
