accessing player gui from workspace?

You cannot access LocalPlayer unless the script is a LocalScript, but I recommend this (this is a Script):
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p) -- when a player joins
local gui = p.PlayerGui --gets the 'startergui' of a player
end)

The PlayerGui doesn't load straight away so I suggest adding WaitForChild on line two to prevent errors like this: "PlayerGui isn't a valid member of Player" from happening.

What entails the script to have to be in the workspace? Perhaps you could reference a value from the client that is assigned on the server.
