  The role of the nucleon resonances ($N^*$) in $\omega$ photoproduction is
investigated by using the resonance parameters predicted by Capstick and
Roberts. The contributions from the nucleon resonances are found to be
significant in various spin asymmetries. In particular, we found that a crucial
test of our predictions can be made by measuring the parity asymmetry and
beam-target double asymmetry at forward scattering angles.
