    public $username;

    public static function findIdentity($id)
    {
        if (isset(static::$users[$id])) {
            $user = new static();
            $user->id = $id;
            $user->username = static::$users[$id];

            return $user;
        }

        return null;
    }

    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }
}

$user = new User([
    'identityClass' => Identity::class,
    'checkAccess' => function($id, $permission) {
        return $id == 1 && $permission == 'test';
