Got security error at Send email node

The basic user who has viewer permission

Viewer permission on what?

we had a process that sent an email notification to admins once a user completed an action. However, the process (send email) failed whenever a basic user triggered it.

What does "to admins" mean? Is this an Appian-group? Do basic users have permission to see the members of that admin group?

Generally, changing the node assignment to 'whoever designed this process model' can resolve this issue. However, to understand the exact issue, you need to explain what's in the email node configuration. As you mentioned admins, I hope these are application admins only, not system admins.

This was my thinking as well - it's an easy landmine to accidentally stumble upon, after making any groups with "private" permission styles etc, then using them in a process.  It's one reason I personally do most subprocess calls with "designer" permissions set, and just make sure I'm enforcing piecemeal visibility security within the process where necessary.
