Maray, my take on this would be that you can write some parts of the
documentation (e.g. conceptual topics like "What is a widget?") without
access to what you're writing about. But you might not be able to write
procedures accurately, particularly if your audience has little knowledge
(and therefore the steps need to be very detailed). 

So, you could structure your time to write and/or check the detailed
procedures while you have access, and write other content when you don't. 

Hope that helps,
Craig
