Hi collinq 

1. Yes we have tried with report takeover (mentioned in my post above), that works only with paginated report.

 

2. We used dataset takeover to change the owner in bulk and that's also working (mentioned in my post above).

 

3. Now the only pending bit is to update report contact in bulk.
btw, update datasource will interact with dataset - not with the report.
I was thinking to somehow if we can use the output of GetReportsInGroupAsAdmin ( mentioned in my post above) to find the user email. But found the contact field in report setting and these created by/modified by fields are different.

So anyway to reach to this Contact field via script/Rest API for bulk update?

I do not know of a better way or a way to do it in bulk.  And, as v-henryk-mstf mentions, you may have to do them individually.
