Is there a way to retrieve drafts from a disabled Confluence user?

After off-boarding an employee, their manager requested access to a Confluence draft that was shared with them, but had not been published yet. Is there a way to retrieve this user's draft(s) without having to reactivate the user? Our users are provisioned via Okta, and have already been fully deprovisioned access from our entire company. 

Just wondering if there was an easier way to do this without reactivating the Okta user and reprovisioning Confluence access, and me logging in as the user to retrieve the drafts.

@Henry Chad Apale  You would have to login as that user.  I am assuming that this is a company managed account so you technically own the account and could change the password.  Then you could just login and publish the page and revert back to the previous page version.  The draft you wanted would now be in the version history for everyone to use.
