@gurdeeps Agreed. May I please know if you have tried the 3rd option as suggested by me earlier?

@sikhivahans the group which I am trying to view is restricted and in any case I can not make it public. Users and groups should be visible to basic user

@gurdeeps To the best of my knowledge, following are some of the ways to resolve the issue:
1. Update the 'Type' in the 'Security Settings' of the Group to Public. Shared Component by name 'Change Group Security Settings' at http://bit.ly/2i1e1OW should assist you in doing programmatically or you may do the same manually as well. Opening up the security depends on the way the security matrices are defined in your project.
2. Store the users, groups and memberships in the database so that one can trespass the Appian Security on the need basis. This applies to any object in the entire environment as it's a plain database query and helps us overcome the security settings at times when it's really not required. Also please note that this requires significant effort and depends on the type and frequency of the use cases.
3. If the use case you have is limited to Process Modeling, you can query the data before user input task(Use designer privileges in case if the process is being run under the context of initiator who lacks privilege to the groups that need to be queried) and store them in the Process Variables and show the same on UI later on. This is confined to the use cases that emerge in the area of Process Modeling.

I would be interested to see if any other practitioners have relatively simple and better solutions.

@gurdeeps
you can set as-- "Run as whoever designed this process model" in script task node under process model, i think it will work for basic user

The Basic user who will access the application should have the respective privileges to do.
We need do the following configurations defined.
1.User need to be added to the respective group.
2.The group should be configured under security of all objects with the privilege level that are going to be in the process that user needs access.

The user (group) should have at least Viewer permission to the objects to access the application

@gurdeeps
Hi,
Can you please let us know on what action your basic user is encountering "User does not have permission or insufficient privileges." error?
