You cannot edit an enterprise SDE feature class with a basic ArcGIS license level.
This is not completely true. There are a number of ways to access/maintain tables and rows in an EGDB that don't require a Standard or Advanced license (for example, a Portal survey could start data upload, without even a Basic license).
And with Standard/Advanced, you can do a number of tasks in a PostgreSQL database without enabling it as an enterprise geodatabase.
