Did you mean the documents in your workspace?

If it's documents on your computer this may not help, unless you're running some flavor of Linux.

But for the workspace, you could try this command: "chmod u+rw *". This will make every file and directory readable and writable to you.

Then for directories, you could do this: "chmod u+rwx directory1 directory2 directory3...". Of course give your actual directory names instead of directory1 (and 2 and 3 ... etc).

Hopefully, this will get your access back until you can get more familiar with setting permissions.
