Some people will want to have it go back to the user list, some other people will want to have it stay on the same page. I guess the only way would be to have two save buttons, one "save and return" (to the list) and "save" (and stay around).

It is a poor UI experience. I'm currently working on migration of users and I have to stay on the user settings page to change settings gradually for various options. At the moment making a change, hitting save takes you back to user list. One then has to enter the name of the user in the search box (we have a long list) and then click on it to load the user settings page again. It would have been a much better option to keep the page on the user settings upon save, then if you want to navigate back to user list, just click the "Accounts" tab and you are back to user list.

I'll add it as a feature request, @Arthur Grandovskis , but no guarantees it will be implemented. Things like this can be a matter of taste: you don't agree with it but others may. Regardless, I'll get it escalated. 

+1 It is one of those small things that irritates you after a while. The accounts tab is right by the save button I could just hit save and then click accounts if I needed to go back to do another account. Would be nice to have an option to change that behavior
