Summary: Notice: Undefined variable: permissions in functions.php

Initial Comment:
Hi

I was making some changes to my local copy of your site (version 3.1.0) and I turned on error reporting, I got
an unexpected messages from the functions.php file...

Notice: Undefined variable: permissions in C:\xampp\htdocs\froggit.local\core\functions.php on
line 737

I have checked the code and it appears to be the line...

       $permissions |= $_SESSION['vdb']['permissions']['all'];

I understand that this line is checking that the permissions are either correct for the user or set as 'all'.
however I can not find any other reference in the sites code to a variable called $permissions so how is this
variable being populated? Is it safe to comment out the references to $permissions in the functions.php
file to stop the warnings or am I missing something?

Thanks for your help I am new to php coding and want to understand how this works,
