Getting a Cloud KMS resource ID

When you refer to a Cloud Key Management Service resource using the Cloud Key Management Service API or Cloud SDK, such as when you grant an Identity and Access Management (IAM) role on the resource, you refer to the resource by its ID. This topic shows how to get the ID for a key ring, a key, and a key version.
