Admin access to contents of a Shared Drive?

Google Workspace newbie Admin...  is there a way to view the contents of Shared Drives that users create?   For example, if a User is unreachable, ill, terminated, etc and I need to access files from their Share Drives, how can I, as an Admin, do so if I'm not on the team linked to the Shared Drive?   

Thanks.

No, you can't view or access a shared drive's content unless you have specifically been given access to it. However, since you are an admin, you can give yourself access. Go to admin console > apps > drive > manage shared drives. There you will find an option to manage drive members.
