kavithams- Yes, you can update the author using API V1 edit call.
Pass message.author with the valid author login.

Hi TariqHussain
Thank you for your answer. We tried it out, but it is only editing the last_updated_author. We need the original author to be changed. Kindly help with the same.
kavithams - After testing, I found the same behavior. The only last edit author is being edited using edit call. I don't think we can update the original author using REST API.
The only alternative way I can think right now is to re-post the same message with the correct author login. However, the post_time will be changed.
