@richgalloway 
so this operation can not be done in bulk.. i have 100 of views (owned by a user who isnt part of organization)  some of which i want to delete and reassign some to another app and user

"bulk" was not part of the OP.  Consider writing a script that performs the necessary operations on all 100 objects for you.

so if i do like below in my code , that should work  and change app & user context or for views the endpoint is different ?

 

dashboard_name = "view_name"

dashboard_xml_data = get_user_accounts_dashboard_xml(main_query_user_accounts, addon_query_user_accounts_sum)

data = {'output_mode': 'json',

        'owner': 'test_user',

        'app_name: 'test_app'

        }

response = requests.post( splunk_server + '/servicesNS/' + app_author + '/' + app_name + '/data/ui/views/' + view_name +"/acl", data=data,

                             auth=(user, password), verify=False)

At a high level, that appears to be a good approach.
