$identity yii\web\IdentityInterface | null the identity object associated with the currently logged user. If null, it means the current user will be a guest without any associated identity.

        } elseif ($identity === null) {
            $this->_identity = null;
        } else {
            throw new InvalidValueException('The identity object must implement IdentityInterface.');
        }
