How can a Space Administrator gain access to restricted pages in the space she's an admin of?

Scenario

A new hire needs access to all of the content/pages within her team's Space, much of which has been restricted to a handful of individual users (not groups) by past employees.

This user has been granted admin access to the Space.

How can this user easily gain access to these restricted pages without another user with access granting them access or making them a global admin?

This article (written for Cloud) contains a method for recovering access to restricted pages but does not seem to work for Data Center.

@Matthew Warren , I would suggest making that user a space admin, then they should be able to change the permission on the pages. And I think that will give them access to the Restricted Pages tab under Space Tools -> Permissions. Once they have access, they can easily remove restrictions.

If that is enough to give them access, an admin, can access that same page, remove all restrictions, and then let the new space admin correctly set permissions using groups, to try to future-proof the permissions.
